Your donor page
Donors give at your web address, on a page wearing your logo and colors. The identity check, the payment rails, and the per-donor §25F receipt run underneath, under your name.
White-label
Your donors see your SGO. Not sgosoftware.com.
For a Scholarship Granting Organization, the donor relationship is the asset. That is why SGO Software is white-label by default: every surface a donor, family, or school touches runs under your organization's name, logo, and colors, on your own domain if you want it. The §25F compliance engine does its work underneath, invisible.
Every surface, your brand
White-label is not a logo swap. It is the whole surface.
Most scholarship platforms put their own brand in front of your donors: the donation page is theirs, the receipt is theirs, the emails are theirs. Your organization becomes a line item on someone else’s website.
SGO Software works the other way around. You are the brand; we are the engine. Here is what that covers.
Your family application
Parents apply to your scholarship fund, not to a software vendor. Document upload, the 300% AMGI eligibility check, and award letters all carry your brand.
Your school portals
Each school you serve signs in to a portal that looks like yours. Agreements, per-student ledgers, and disbursements stay inside your brand.
Your receipts and emails
Every §25F tax-credit receipt, award letter, and notification goes out from your organization's name and email domain. Donors file a receipt from you.
Why it matters
Under §25F, your brand is your donor pipeline.
The federal Education Freedom Tax Credit turns donor acquisition into the core competition between SGOs. Donors get the same dollar-for-dollar federal credit wherever they give, so they give to the organization they know and trust. An SGO that builds its donor base under its own name owns that base. An SGO that rents space on a marketplace builds someone else’s.
White-labeling also matters at tax time: every donor files a §25F receipt, and that receipt carries your organization’s name. It is a yearly, IRS-adjacent touchpoint that reinforces who the donor gave to, and who they should give to again next January.
What stays yours
- Your name, logo, and colors on every portal
- Your own domain for giving and applications
- Receipts and emails sent from your organization
- Your donor list and donor data, never marketed to
- Your schools' trust: their portal looks like your program
Included, not an upsell.
White-labeling is not a tier. Your branding is simply how the platform works, included in the same all-in transaction pricing, around 3% of donations, inside your 10% administrative cap.
FAQ
White-label questions, answered.
What does white-label mean in SGO software?
It means the software runs under your Scholarship Granting Organization's brand instead of the vendor's. On SGO Software, the donor page, family application, school portals, receipts, and emails all carry your name, logo, and colors. The §25F compliance engine, payments, identity verification, eligibility math, and reporting, runs underneath without appearing in front of your donors.
Can our SGO use its own domain?
Yes. Your SGO launches on a clean branded URL from day one, and we can put your surfaces on your own domain, for example give.yourfund.org, so donors never leave your web presence. Emails and receipts can send from your domain as well.
Is white-labeling an extra cost or a higher tier?
No. Your branding is how the platform works by default, not a premium tier. It is included in the same all-in transaction pricing, around 3% of donations, inside the 10% administrative cap.
Who owns the donor relationship and the donor data?
You do. Donors give to your organization, receive receipts from your organization, and remain your donors. SGO Software is infrastructure; we never market to your donors and the relationship stays yours.
