As your school prepares to participate in the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (FSTC) Program, you may have questions about donations, fundraising, and how donors can support your school.
Below are answers to common questions about the donation process.
When Can Donors Begin Making Contributions?

How Do I Share My School or Network's Donation Page?

Stay tuned for more details about sharing your donation page.
How Can Donors Designate Contributions to My School or Network?
When making a contribution, donors will be asked whether they'd like to designate their donation to a specific school or organization.
If they choose to do so, they can select one or more preferred schools or organizations.
⚠️ Important: Designating a school or organization does not guarantee that the donation will be allocated to that organization.
What Is Earmarking, and How Does It Work?
Earmarking allows donors to express a preference for which schools or organizations they'd like their contributions to support.
While donors can indicate a preference for your school, an earmark does not guarantee that your school will receive those funds.
All donations are subject to the Scholarship Granting Organization's (SGO's) allocation process and program requirements.
How Do I View My School's Donations?
Beginning in January 2027, you’ll be able to view your school’s fundraising activity directly in the Odyssey School Portal.
We’ll share more details closer to launch, including where to find donation totals and how to track your school’s fundraising progress.
