HUNTER COLLEGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION INC

What HUNTER COLLEGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION INC does

Hunter College Elementary School Parent Teacher Association Inc (HCES PTA) is a private nonprofit organization chartered as the official parent-teacher association for Hunter College Elementary School, a public elementary school located at 71 E. 94th St. in Manhattan, New York City. The PTA serves the school's 330+ families together with faculty and staff, providing community programs, documentation resources, after-school enrichment, and over 50 events annually, supported by a base of 275+ active volunteers and an elected PTA Board.

The PTA's service portfolio spans six core areas: community programs (including a babysitter directory and volunteer coordination), events and activities, forms and documentation services (HCES Handbook, reimbursement forms, communication guidelines), a structured chess program, bus route coordination with assigned bus captains, and the Hawk's Nest after-school program. All services are delivered through a WordPress-based website integrated with Blackbaud's MyHunter school management portal (used for member authentication) and the Jumbula platform (which powers Hawk's Nest registration). Members sign in using their existing Blackbaud credentials.

The organization is funded entirely by voluntary family donations and contributions, supplemented by event-based fees such as ticketing for PTA Movie Night. There is no formal pricing structure, no disclosed financial statements, and no paid revenue model beyond donations and participation fees. Distribution is community-led and reaches families exclusively through the school's own communication infrastructure — MyHunter, email newsletters, the HCES Handbook, and in-person events — with no external sales motion, no marketing campaigns outside the school community, and operations confined to a single geographic market (New York City).
