Take a §25F donation the right way, the first time.

Taking a §25F donation is a payments problem before it is a fundraising one: verified identity, money movement, and a per-donor receipt the donor can actually claim. SGO Software is that product, so you receive the donation and the platform does practically the rest.

A payments product, not a donate button.

01

Verified identity on file

Capture the donor's name, address, and SSN, with policy and disclosure acceptance recorded. That is the verified record §25F requires on file before any money moves.

02

Every payment method

ACH and card. One-time donations, on regulated rails.

03

Per-donor §25F receipt

The exact document each donor needs to claim the $1,700 federal credit, generated as the donation settles and tied to the ledger, never reconstructed later.

04

Donor-directed giving

Donors choose a state and school on a visual map instead of a dropdown, or let the SGO allocate. You switch any state or school on or off.

Pre-registration

Bank the donor before day one.

The federal credit opens January 1, 2027, and every SGO starts from zero on the same day. Pre-registration banks the donor, their payment method, and their chosen school ahead of time, so day one is a charge, not a scramble. Build on the platform from the start instead of migrating onto it later.

  • Donors pre-register, pick their school, and save a payment method before the program opens.
  • A built-in FAQ and contact form field donor questions, so you don't run pre-launch from your inbox.
  • Each school sees how many pre-registered donors are pointed at it, a head start you hand every partner school.

The receipt is a compliance artifact, not a courtesy.

§25F is a regime, not a tax form, and the per-donor receipt is one of its required documents. A wrong or missing one means a donor can’t claim the credit, and a donor who can’t claim doesn’t give again. That’s why every receipt is generated by the system, tied to the reconciling ledger, and part of the audit-ready trail covered on the compliance page.

Be ready the day §25F donations open

January 1, 2027 is the same starting line for every SGO. See the platform built from the ground up for §25F: it turns every school you serve into a donor channel, then handles eligibility, disbursement, and reporting in one compliant system. You receive donations and choose scholarships, the platform does the rest.
