A Scholarship Granting Organization is a nonprofit that collects donations and turns them into scholarships for families attending qualifying K-12 Christian schools.

The federal credit was created by the Educational Choice for Children Act. It is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in your federal tax bill — not a deduction. The federal credit caps at $1,700 for individuals and $3,400 for joint filers.

CEN runs the operation end to end — compliance, attestation, donor receipts, school disbursement, family eligibility, audit-ready records.
