🛒 How to Purchase or Renew Your PTA Membership on Givebacks
Becoming a Briarcrest PTA member is a simple but powerful way to support our students, staff, and school traditions. Washington State PTA uses a platform called Givebacks (formerly MemberHub) to manage memberships online. The name might sound like a donation site, but it’s actually our official hub for joining, renewing, and staying connected. In just a few clicks, you’ll be part of the team that brings joy, learning, and community to life at Briarcrest!
What is Givebacks—and why does WSPTA use it?
Givebacks (formerly known as MemberHub) is the official membership management platform used by the Washington State PTA. It serves as the central hub for tracking PTA memberships, reporting board members, processing dues, and managing compliance. Local PTAs also use it to build websites, communicate with members, and offer online registration and fundraising tools.
We know the name “Givebacks” can be a little confusing—it sounds like a donation site! But in this case, it’s simply the name of the platform that powers our PTA operations statewide.
