School questions, answered
What FundEDU does, how we are paid, and what your team can expect.
What does FundEDU do?
We combine our own proprietary donor intelligence and communications software with hands-on service: donor outreach, campaigns and materials, school-branded donation pages, program paperwork, and reporting, within each state's rules. We extend your school's reach.
What does FundEDU actually do that we can't do ourselves?
Reach and capacity. Your team asks the community it knows; we find and ask donors well beyond it. If you have a development office, we multiply what it can do. If you don't, we do the work it would. We can also help you review tuition, aid, and scholarship policies so the programs work well for your families and your school.
How are you paid?
Through a written contract agreed before any work begins. Depending on the services you choose, that is a base fee, fees tied to the funding we help bring in, or both. The contract is filed with the state wherever the law requires it, and we walk through the options in your first conversation.
How will donors experience outreach done in our name?
In your school's name. You approve how your school is presented before any outreach begins.
What will our staff have to do?
Very little by design: a decision-maker for approvals, basic information, and introductions where they help.
Who decides which students receive scholarships?
Your school does, under each program's eligibility rules. Scholarship organizations receive and distribute the funds. FundEDU handles outreach, coordination, and reporting.
How do we know the outreach is compliant?
We meet each state's requirements for professional solicitors and fundraising counsel wherever we contract. Our contracts are filed with the state wherever the law requires it, and you can verify our registration yourself. We will show you where.
How long until we see results?
It depends on each program's calendar. In the first conversation we place your school on the current cycle, so you know what to expect before you sign.
What if we already have some tax-credit funding?
Then you are ahead of most schools, and the question is how much more is available. Before we talk, we research your area's donor capacity with our own data and tools, and in the conversation we give you a realistic range for what your school could raise.
Can you take over the tax-credit admin we already do?
Yes. We can run the administration of your existing tax-credit and donor programs: tracking commitments, following up on every check, and working with your scholarship organizations, so your staff does not have to.
Still have questions?
Book a conversation and we will walk through it with you.
