For school administrators

Your tuition is set by the market. Now there is room above it to fully fund your actual costs.

Most heads of school running scholarship-supported families know the math. Tuition tops out at the voucher level. Teachers are underpaid. Families are stretched. The federal SGO opens room above that floor — and our team handles the operation.

Where the federal credit fits

01

A credit for a gift, not a tuition mechanism.

Donors redirect what they already owe in federal tax through the Federal School Choice Tax Credit — up to $1,700 individual or $3,400 joint. The gift goes to CEN as the SGO. You get a scholarship pool you didn't have last year, with compliance, receipts, and disbursement handled.

02

Stacks with your state program.

EdChoice. Step Up. GOAL. OSTC. The federal credit is for a charitable gift to an SGO — different mechanism, runs alongside the state vehicle you already know. Families and donors can participate in both. See your state.

03

Built for the stewardship frame.

Families channel the recouped dollars back into Christian formation — tuition, giving, or the school itself. The script we provide your team carries the why. Your team doesn't walk anyone through tax mechanics. That's on us.

From the network

What participating schools say.

"The SGO finally lets us set tuition where it needs to be — and that means we can pay teachers what they deserve. The scholarship pool also means more families who want a Christian education can actually afford one. Both shifts in the same year."

Where the federal credit operates today

With more states opting in every enrollment cycle as participating schools come online.

"It stacks cleanly with our state program. We didn't have to choose."

Operations director

Classical Christian school, TX

"I came in skeptical — I'd seen enough SGO pitches over the years to know what an overpromise looks like. The walkthrough answered every question my board asked, in the order they asked it. We were operational by the next enrollment cycle."

FAQ FOR ADMINISTRATORS

The questions heads of school ask first.

Still have questions?

What does the SGO change for our school?

It opens room to raise tuition above the existing voucher floor, which means better teacher pay, more intervention services, and a sustainable budget. Schools who currently see 60 to 90 percent of students on full vouchers will see the biggest shift.

No. The federal credit stands on its own. Stack it with your state program (EdChoice, Step Up, FTC, others). You can participate in both. Specific stacking guidance lives in the state-specific Resources pages.

If donations increase, more families can enroll. Capacity planning is something we’d love to talk through on a demo call — real-world examples are available.

K-12 Christian schools nationwide. Full definition lives in the Resources article on qualifying schools.

With a script that carries the why and routes to a how. We provide the script during onboarding and equip you with the materials your families will see — so your team never has to walk a parent through tax mechanics.

A 30-minute demo to start. After that, we handle the family-facing communications on your behalf, with your sign-off.

There is no cost to participating schools. Final wording pending CCV Comms review.

Most schools onboard within a few weeks. We’ll give you a working timeline on the demo call. Exact onboarding window pending Adam Bowling’s confirmation.
