Education for All.
Every student. Every path.
Sunnyside Rising exists to put a powerful, underused tool in the hands of every Colorado taxpayer — the ability to redirect federal taxes they already owe into real educational resources for real students.
Sunnyside Rising is a Colorado-based Scholarship Granting Organization founded on a simple but powerful belief: every child deserves access to the best academic, social, and personal resources — regardless of where they learn or what their family can afford. We exist to make that belief actionable. Through IRS Section 25F, eligible taxpayers can redirect up to $1,700 of their existing federal tax liability — dollar for dollar — to fund educational resources at the public, private, or homeschool community they care about most. No extra out-of-pocket cost. No political agenda. Just a smarter use of money that was already leaving your pocket.
We structured Sunnyside Rising around the whole school community, not just individual students who happen to qualify. When a school receives SGO-funded resources — whether that's technology, tutoring, enrichment programs, or special needs services — every child in that school benefits.We operate with full transparency: real-time fundraising dashboards, quarterly fund distributions directly to vendors, and annual independent audits ensure that at least 90 cents of every donated dollar reaches students. From Denver's neighborhood elementary schools to homeschool families across all 64 Colorado counties, our goal is the same: to help Colorado communities rise together.
“A Colorado where every child has access to the best academic, social, and personal resources — regardless of their individual needs or learning environment.”
The federal Section 25F tax credit goes live January 1, 2027. We are currently in formation — completing our 501(c)(3) application, building the platform, and onboarding pilot schools.
