We Bring Donors
You Change Lives
AFC Scholarship Fund is America’s scholarship network — the national fundraising engine, the partner portal, and the Scholarship Granting Organization, all in one. Partner with us before the Education Freedom Tax Credit opens in 2027.
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.
