Strong Rock Christian School Participates in the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program
DONOR INFORMATION
It is a rare and wonderful thing to be able to help a child secure a great education at Strong Rock Christian School. It is even more rare for a person to be able to do so by re-directing a portion of their Georgia income taxes toward the provision of scholarships for deserving families. Yet, in essence, by making a contribution to the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program on behalf of Strong Rock Christian School, you can do just that. In exchange for your contribution, you will receive a Georgia income tax credit. Plus, if you itemize your deductions on your federal income tax return, your contribution to GOAL will be deductible as a charitable contribution for federal income tax purposes.
A single individual contributing to the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program, Inc. is eligible to receive a credit against his or her Georgia income tax liability in an amount up to $1,000. For an individual taxpayer filing a married filing separate return, the maximum credit increases to $1,250 per year. A married couple contributing to Goal is eligible to receive a credit against their Georgia income tax liability in an amount up to $2,500.
C-Corporations can also contribute to the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program and receive a credit against their Georgia income tax liability in an amount not to exceed 75 percent of the corporation’s income tax liability.
