As a valued PTA leader, I would like to make certain you are aware that members of the voting body during the 2024 National PTA Virtual Convention adopted a $1 increase to the National PTA dues rate. The new National PTA dues rate of $3.25 will go into effect on July 1, 2025. This includes any membership sold for FY2026 before July 1, 2025. 
For all PTA memberships sold starting in the membership year 2025-2026—which starts July 1, 2025—please collect dues based on the new National PTA dues rate of $3.25.
Local PTAs have two options regarding the $1.00 National PTA dues increase: 
 Keep your overall dues the same and incur a $1.00 loss per member to your local PTA or
 Adjust your overall dues by $1.00 to prevent any revenue loss for your PTA. Washington State PTA recommends that your local PTA adjust your overall membership dues by $1.00 to prevent any revenue loss. 
Below is an example of current membership dues for a local PTA with the two options.
Dues Portion Current Dues Keep Overall Dues the Same (RECOMMENDATION)
Increase Overall Dues by $1.00
Total Membership Dues Amount $12.00 $12.00 $13.00
State Membership Dues Portion $5.75 $5.75 $5.75
National Membership Dues Portion $2.25 $3.25 $3.25
Local Membership Dues Portion* $4.00 $3.00 $4.00
*Including council fees if applicable
This change allows PTA to launch new initiatives and strengthen existing programs that empower families and communities. Together, we are creating lasting change and making a real difference!
Local PTA leaders should look for resources to come your way in the coming weeks to help your PTA implement this change. In the meantime, if you need any help or guidance, please reach out to your region director at ptareg#@wastatepta.org (replace # with the region where your PTA is located).
Thank you,
Angela Steck
Washington State PTA President
