Two paths to reach your whole community and turn credit gifts into scholarships

Your families pledge their credit gift in Clarity Billing
Your wider community gives through a standalone, school-branded portal
The SGO embedded in Clarity receives the credit gifts, sends donors their IRS receipts and awards the scholarships
Your eligible students receive the scholarships in Clarity Financial Aid

Zero extra work for your school, your donors, and your families receiving aid

A scholarship gift that costs your families nothing

Families pledge their credit during tuition payment setup, which puts the ask in front of them when it's most convenient to say yes.
  • Opt in with a single click
    Families see the gift amounts available to them, and one tap either pledges the credit or lets them continue without one.
  • Fits the plan already selected
    The gift is collected on the same schedule and payment method a family selects for tuition, split across installments or drafted at once.
  • Family education included
    Clarity supplies the educational materials, webinars, and in-platform Q&A families need to understand the credit.

School-branded giving portal where donors build a gift, with a credit gift and optional leadership gift

Contributions from your broader community

A school-branded, standalone portal allows employees, alumni, and other supporters to pledge their credits to your school.
  • One ask, two kinds of giving
    A donor pledges their credit and can also add a larger donation on top in the same transaction, so a single ask does the work of two.
  • You decide what donors can give to
    You choose which funds appear in the portal, and the donor picks a one-time, quarterly, or monthly schedule.
  • Nothing to sort out afterward
    Credit gifts go to the SGO, which awards them to your eligible students. Gifts beyond the credit land directly in your bank account.

Scholarships for your own students

Turn your raised funds into scholarships for your students, right in Clarity Financial Aid.
  • Eligibility automatically flagged
    Income and household size are already verified in Clarity Financial Aid, so students under the federal cap (300% of area median income) are automatically eligible.
  • No second application
    With a family's consent, the financial aid file they already completed doubles as their application to the SGO.
  • Real-time SGO decisions
    See which students have received SGO funds as it happens, directly in Clarity Financial Aid.
Financial aid applicants list showing which students are SGO eligible and the scholarship awarded.
The 25F credit begins with gifts made on or after January 1, 2027, in participating states, and is reduced by any state credit for the same gift. This page is general information, not tax advice.
