"PTA-organised, child-led gifting that gives to parents and to your PTA fundraiser"...
It's a new and exciting idea that solves everyone's problem...
As a PTA...
- you want to raise funds to enhance the school
- you want to create events that are fun, feel-good and adored by parents, children, and teachers alike.
- But what you don’t have is endless time, spare energy, or a secret extra day in the week.
LIKEWISE, AS PARENTS...
- Life is hectic! The juggle is real! Time and energy is at a premium.
- You want a strong and special bond with your child(ren), punctuated with special experiences that create core childhood memories!
- And, hey, it’s nice to feel appreciated from time to time…
WHAT WE DO
With Love From brings you a ready-to-run fundraising event for each of the big three gifting moments of the year: Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Christmas (one per school term).
Each event is:
- Easy to organise (we’ve done the heavy lifting)
- Popular with families (affordable, thoughtful gifts children love to choose + parents love to receive)
- Rewarding for the PTA (high engagement + great fundraising potential)
- Fully supported (we’re with you from sign-up to wrap-up)
That’s one simple, impactful fundraiser per school term — without adding stress, late-night admin, friction or the dreaded “can everyone please remember to contribute to this...” moment.
How does it work?
We source and curate a selection of awesome gifts that children can handpick for their parents or loved ones at a PTA-organised gifting event in school, for Mothers’ Day, Fathers’ Day and Christmas.
Before the Event you order your complimentary Event Pack, notify parents via your normal communication channels, and organise a small team of 3-4 PTA volunteers to help the children select a thoughtful gift in school.
Then... all children then take home a personalised letter for parents which informs them that they've chosen a gift and gives parents the option to buy the gift on behalf of their child on our website. We then ship the bought gifts into school for your PTA to distribute ahead of the special day.
You can choose whether to run your event as a fundraiser, or simply as a lovely lower-cost addition to your PTA calendar.
EVERYONE'S A WINNER!
- children select a thoughtful gift in a safe, cashless and convenient environment
- parents contribute to PTA initiatives and receive a handpicked gift “with love from” their child
- PTA members effortlessly raise money and contribute to the more rewarding aspects of interacting with the children and school community.
Meanwhile, we take care of the payment interface, the sourcing, logistics and packaging of gifts.
