Scholarship Granting Organizations in Rhode Island

Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island students. Each card opens the organization’s profile page; the green link goes to its own site.

Rhode Island is not participating. It has no §25F list, so no organization here can receive credit-eligible gifts for Rhode Island students. Residents can still claim the credit by giving to organizations in participating states.

These run Rhode Island’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.

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