We Strengthen the Scholarship Ecosystem Alongside Them

At RedefinED School Advancement, we believe Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs) are essential to the success of tax credit scholarship programs.

We do not compete with SGOs.

We partner alongside them.

SGOs play a critical role in:

Administering scholarship programs
Managing compliance and reporting
Processing donations
Distributing scholarship funds
Navigating complex state and federal regulations

Those responsibilities are incredibly important and require significant operational infrastructure.

Our role is different.

Where RedefinED Fits In

RedefinED works directly with schools and communities to help increase awareness, engagement, and participation in scholarship programs.

We focus on the “boots on the ground” work that many schools desperately need, including:

Community outreach
Parent education
Local business engagement
Alumni relationship development
Donor pipeline building
School advancement strategy
Scholarship awareness campaigns

We help connect schools and their communities to SGOs.

That connection is important because while SGOs administer scholarship programs at scale, schools often need personalized, local support to fully maximize those opportunities.

A Stronger Partnership Model

Rather than replacing SGOs, RedefinED helps strengthen the entire scholarship ecosystem.

By working directly within school communities, we help:

Increase donor participation
Build local awareness
Strengthen relationships between schools and community members
Create sustainable pipelines for scholarship growth
Support long-term advancement efforts at the school level

This allows SGOs to remain focused on program administration and compliance, while RedefinED helps schools expand community engagement and scholarship participation.

Why Schools & SGOs Benefit

Why Schools Benefit

Most schools do not have dedicated advancement teams large enough to consistently manage:

Community outreach
Donor cultivation
Parent education
Relationship management
Scholarship growth strategy

That is where our team comes in.

We work alongside schools to help them develop deeper relationships with:

Families
Alumni
Businesses
Churches
Community leaders
Local supporters

These relationships not only help generate scholarship support, but also strengthen the long-term sustainability of the school itself.

Why SGOs Benefit

Our work also helps offset the need for SGOs to build extensive local development infrastructures in every community they serve.

Instead of trying to manage highly localized outreach efforts across hundreds of schools, SGOs can rely on RedefinED to help:

Educate school communities
Coordinate local engagement
Build school-level momentum
Increase participation and awareness
Create stronger relationships between donors and schools

The result is a stronger partnership between schools, communities, and SGOs, all working toward the same mission:

Better Together

We believe scholarship programs are strongest when everyone plays their role well.

SGOs administer and protect the integrity of the programs.Schools serve students and families directly.RedefinED helps connect the community to the mission.

Together, that collaboration helps generate more scholarship dollars, deepen community relationships, and create greater access to education for the families who need it most.
