Scholarship Granting Organizations in New Mexico

New Mexico has not published its list for the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit yet. Below: where the state’s process stands, and the organizations that say they will serve New Mexico students. Each card opens the organization’s profile page; the green link goes to its own site.

No official §25F list yet. The New Mexico Public Education Department will build New Mexico's list, but it has not opened applications yet. The state’s 2027 list is due to the IRS by Feb 15, 2027. Until an organization is on that list, a gift to it does not earn the federal credit. Last checked Nov 5, 2026.

Where New Mexico is in the process

  1. Nov 4, 2026 · Gov. Lujan Grisham announces New Mexico will participate

    Public Education Department to set up SGO certification in the coming weeks

  2. Jan 1, 2027 · Advance election (Form 15714) due (expected)

    Not yet on the IRS list; Gov.-elect Deb Haaland takes office the same day

  3. Feb 15, 2027 · Federal deadline for 2027 state lists (expected)

    Without a list, no organization in the state qualifies for 2027

Getting on New Mexico’s list

No application yet. Gov. Lujan Grisham announced on November 4, 2026 that New Mexico will participate, and her office said the New Mexico Public Education Department will set up a process for certifying SGOs in the coming weeks; organizations can apply once the department releases its certification guidelines. The governor's office says the state will certify every SGO that meets the criteria, as the law requires. In the meantime, get the two things that make an organization "located in" New Mexico under the federal rules: authorization to do business in the state (a certificate of authority from the Secretary of State if you're incorporated elsewhere) and registration with the New Mexico Department of Justice's charities unit. The state still has to file its advance election by January 1, 2027, and its SGO list is due at the IRS by February 15, 2027.

Says it will serve New Mexico(10)

Not on New Mexico’s official list yet. These organizations say they will award §25F scholarships to New Mexico students: verified operators (shield) told us directly; the rest come from public sources such as their own sites, state announcements or IRS records. A gift earns the federal credit only once the organization is on the state’s list.

Nothing on this page is an official §25F approval yet: New Mexico has not published its list. The organizations shown have publicly signaled plans to serve New Mexico. 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 →
