Brightpath Scholars Fund
Scholarships for first-generation college students across Colorado.
Brightpath Scholars Fund, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. EIN: 12-3456789
A DAF donor's first move is checking that your legal name and EIN match what their sponsor has on file. If they have to hunt for either one, some of them stop. Put both where nobody can miss them, right at the top.
Give online
Every scholarship starts with somebody deciding to give. Pick an amount and you're most of the way there.
Card giving is the front door, so it sits first and it stays simple. Pick an amount, pick once or monthly, done. No account to create and no long form. Every extra field costs gifts.
Give from your donor-advised fund
Recommend a grant to Brightpath Scholars Fund in about a minute. Pick your sponsor, we'll hand you everything they'll ask for.
What your sponsor will ask for
Sponsor grants often arrive with no name attached. This button opens a short email so the nonprofit can thank you properly.
This is the section most nonprofits skip, and it costs them. DAF money is already set aside for giving, and DAF donors grant in every month of the year, not just December. The box above is a working widget, the one Epic gives its clients: the donor picks their sponsor, copies the exact legal name, EIN, and both addresses, lands in their portal, and can tell the nonprofit they gave, because a DAF grant is almost never anonymous and the donor should hear thank you within 48 hours.
More ways to give
Stock and securities
Giving appreciated stock lets you skip the capital gains tax and give the full value. Email us before you transfer and we'll send the brokerage details, so we can match the gift to you when it lands.
IRA charitable rollover
70½ or older? A qualified charitable distribution sends money straight from your IRA to Brightpath. It counts toward your required minimum distribution and doesn't show up as taxable income.
Check by mail
Make checks payable to Brightpath Scholars Fund, Inc. and mail to PO Box 1234, Denver, CO 80201. Payable to the legal name, every time. A check written to a nickname or a program name slows everything down.
Wire or EFT
For gifts by wire or ACH, contact us and we'll send the instructions. Sponsors and banks ask for this more than they used to, and we'd rather hand it to you directly than post it.
Bigger gifts rarely move by card. Stock, IRA rollovers, and wires are how they actually travel, so the page names each one and gives the donor the single next step. No dead ends: every path ends at an exact instruction or a person.

Financial advisors and DAF sponsor staff: Jordan's your contact too. She answers within one business day.
A named person with a direct email beats a contact form every time. An advisor deciding whether to send a client your way wants to know a human will pick up. So does a donor with a five-figure question.

The footer repeats the legal name, EIN, and address on purpose. It's the cheapest trust signal there is, and it's what sponsors check during grant due diligence.

The DAF widget on this page is free for any nonprofit to use. Download it, hand it to whoever runs your website, and your donors get the same setup you just tried.
How to install it (about five minutes)
1. Download the file, or copy the code.
2. Open your donation page editor and add a code block where you want the widget to sit. Squarespace calls it a Code Block, WordPress an HTML block, Wix an embed element.
3. Paste everything into the block and save.
4. Before you share the page: the file comes filled in with the fictional Brightpath details. Near the bottom of the code there's a short block marked CONFIG. Swap in your legal name, EIN, mailing and physical addresses, and the email that should get the "I gave" notes. Save again.
5. Click through it once yourself: copy a detail, open a sponsor, send yourself the tell-them email.

A model page that keeps the good stuff to itself is just a lecture. The widget is free because every nonprofit that installs it fixes the same problems at once, and the Powered by Epic Philanthropy line brings the next conversation back here.
