Anyone Can Hand You a Platform
We Hand You Donors

We hand you donors, your brand, and a team that runs it all.

Software can help you run your own SGO — but you still have to staff it, stay compliant, and go find every donor yourself. Partnering with AFC is a different path: we’re the SGO, and we bring the demand. You get a national fundraising engine, your own brand on a national-grade portal, and our team carrying the operational and compliance load.

Demand, not just infrastructure

Our national advertising and lifecycle engine reaches new donors at scale (one-to-many) — so partnering with us adds dollars you couldn’t raise alone, on top of the supporters you already have.

Your brand on a national-grade portal

Co-branded landing pages and dashboards keep families connected to you — powered by Odyssey’s national distribution infrastructure and AFC’s multi-state footprint.

Zero operational burden

We’re the scholarship granting organization. We handle eligibility, fund distribution, compliance, and reporting end to end — no SGO to build, no 90/10 cap to track.

A new national scholarship program opens in 2027

The schools that prepare in 2026 win first

Starting January 1, 2027, individuals can give to a scholarship granting organization and receive a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit of up to $1,700 when they file. That money can fund tuition and educational expenses for families at your school — but only through an SGO. The organizations that line up their network now will be funding students on day one. The ones that wait will spend 2027 building what they could have had ready.

Grow enrollment without becoming an SGO

You don’t need to build a scholarship granting organization. We act as the SGO, so you can focus on teaching — while new scholarship dollars and new families come to your door.

Built for federal oversight. Trusted with families’ futures.

As a national Scholarship Granting Organization, AFC carries the federal compliance burden so you don’t have to. Every dollar is handled to the standard the Education Freedom Tax Credit requires:

  • At least 90% of every qualifying donation goes to scholarships — the federal 90/10 rule, tracked continuously.
  • Contributions held in separate accounts and never commingled.
  • Donor and family data protected on secure, regulated payment rails.
  • Eligibility verified to the federal standard (up to 300% of area median gross income).
  • Per-donor receipts and state + federal reporting handled for you.
  • An audit-ready trail of every dollar, from contribution to student impact — and we track Treasury's rule changes so your program stays current.

Four steps. We do the heavy lifting.

  1. Register your interest — a short form, two minutes

  2. We confirm eligibility and set up your co-branded portal

  3. Families at your school access scholarships when EFTC activates

  4. We handle distribution, compliance, and reporting — you see it all in your dashboard

Frequently asked questions

Get answers to common questions for Schools & SGOs.

No. We act as the Scholarship Granting Organization for you, so you keep your brand and your focus on students.

You get a national fundraising engine and a co-branded portal on top of the infrastructure, not just the infrastructure, with the SGO burden carried for you.

The Education Freedom Tax Credit activates January 1, 2027; partners can begin setting up through early access in 2026.

Yes. Every partner gets a co-branded portal and landing pages, so families see your name and logo throughout.

Any physical K–12 school — private, faith-based, independent, micro-school, or charter where applicable — can partner; which specific expenses scholarships cover is pending final Treasury guidance.

Donations and student data run through audit-ready, secure distribution and reporting systems, with full details covered during onboarding.
