Can I Donate to an SGO in Another State?
Yes! You can donate to an eligible Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) in any state that has opted in to the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (FSTC) Program.
You don't have to live in the same state as the SGO you choose to support.
This gives you the flexibility to support students and educational opportunities across the country while potentially qualifying for the federal tax credit, as long as your donation meets the program requirements.
What If My State Hasn't Opted In?
Even if your state hasn't opted in to the FSTC Program, you may still be able to donate to an eligible SGO in a state that has opted in.
This gives you an opportunity to support students and expand access to educational opportunities across the country. However, eligibility for the federal tax credit depends on meeting the program's requirements, including donating to an eligible SGO in a participating state.
Be sure to review the list of participating states and eligible SGOs before making your donation.
How Can I Check Which States Are Participating?
You can find the most up-to-date list of participating states on the IRS Federal Scholarship Tax Credit webpage.
The IRS maintains this list as states elect to participate in the program.
đĄTip: If you don't see your state listed, check back as new states continue to opt in.
