The whole program is short training videos and plain-language guides you work through at your own pace — and everything you do is your own.
Watch short videos and read clear, downloadable manuals. No quizzes, no deadlines — just the skills, in order.
Spot the errors on your credit report, log the disputes you send yourself, and mark items as they clear.
Record your starting score and your follow-ups, and see your progress build over the weeks and months.
For organizations
Reentry programs, ministries, and nonprofits join ScoreEdge, enroll their own participants on our platform, and get the reporting they need for funders and their board — without building any of it.
Tell us about your organization and the people you serve, and we'll set you up with a plan that fits.
Start a partnershipWhy we do this
A credit score quietly decides where you can live, work, and borrow. We treat rebuilding it as restoring opportunity, not assigning blame.
Rooted in the work of Philo Ministries, we teach faithful management of what you have so it can grow into something more.
We don't fix your credit for you — we teach you to do it yourself, so the knowledge stays with you for good.
ScoreEdge is free to the people who need it because donors make it so. Your gift to Philo Ministries puts credit education in the hands of someone rebuilding their life.
