WHY HR TEAMS ADD IT

A benefit employees fund themselves — and still thank you for.

Employees redirect part of each paycheck into K-12 scholarships for families in their own communities, then claim a federal tax credit worth up to $1,700 a year. Most participants net $0.

Your lift is one guided setup and an approval queue. No new vendor portal, no employee PII to custody, no year-end scramble — the board one-pager reconciles to payroll, to the penny.

Start setup
FOR EMPLOYEES

A magic link opens enrollment — no account, no password. Each person picks an amount per paycheck; there’s no default and no minimum.

They see the aggregate impact updates you approve. Never individual family data.

FOR FINANCE

Every deduction reconciles line-by-line on the dashboard, pay cycle by pay cycle.

At quarter-end, the board one-pager and the CSR / ESG export come from the same numbers — nothing to restate.

FAQ

Questions HR asks first.

What does it cost us as the employer?+

Scholarship dollars come entirely from employees who choose to give. Your side is the setup and the approval queue.

Which payroll providers work with it?+

Sixteen providers are supported at setup — ADP, Gusto, Paychex, Workday, UKG, Rippling, and more.

Do we handle employee or family data?+

No. You see aggregate numbers only — participation, totals, locations. Scholarship applications and family information never touch your systems.

What do employees actually get?+

Each dollar they give comes back as a federal tax credit at filing, up to $1,700 a year. Receipts and the year-end paperwork are generated for them.

Can we control what employees receive?+

Yes. Every message — announcement, reminders, milestones — sits in a queue until HR approves it. Nothing sends without sign-off.
