Help RIAGE Get Tax Exempt Status
Rhode Island Advocates for Gifted Education has re-formed after a several-year hiatus, and the new board is looking to reinstate our Federal tax-exempt status and be officially recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The application fee for this process is $400, so we are looking to raise this money from members and friends who have a vested interest in gifted education in Rhode Island. Support RIAGE so we can make a difference for our gifted children and yours!
Please contribute through GoFundMe. Thank you!
