Nothing on this page is an official §25F approval yet: Arkansas has not published its list. The organizations shown say they will serve Arkansas, or run its state program. Under Treasury’s temporary regulations, 2027 state lists are due to the IRS by February 15, 2027, each list must include every qualifying organization located in the state that asks to be on it, and the IRS publishes the combined list on irs.gov. We update this page as states publish. Every state’s list →
