These run Florida’s own scholarship tax credit program. A gift to one of them does not earn the federal credit unless it is added to a state’s §25F list. Many are expected to apply, and a participating state must list every qualifying organization located in the state that asks.
Sunshine State Kids Foundation
Scholarship Funding Organization (SFO) · Hollywood, FL
Approved Feb 2026, first new Florida SFO in over a decade.
Nothing on this page is an official §25F approval yet: Florida has not published its list. The organizations shown say they will serve Florida, 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 →
