No official §25F list yet. The North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority will build North Carolina'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 Oct 5, 2026.

Nothing on this page is an official §25F approval yet: North Carolina has not published its list. The organizations shown say they will serve North Carolina, 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 →
