Submit your 2026 GOAL Tax Credit Application today!

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.

The GOAL Program is a remarkable and important opportunity provided to Georgians by our elected officials.

In exchange for contributions to Georgia GOAL, our partner Student Scholarship Organization, taxpayers receive a 100% dollar-for dollar state income tax credit (not to be confused with a state income tax deduction).

This is a proven opportunity that is a win-win-win for taxpayer donors, scholarship recipients, and our school community. By simply contributing to Georgia GOAL for a 100% Georgia income tax credit – in other words, by contributing with dollars you must spend anyway – you will help maximize financial aid for deserving families desiring to receive a Strong Rock Christian School education.

Tax Filing Status Tax Credit Limit

Business that pays insurance premium tax 75% of annual tax liability, but credit shall not exceed $1 million

 

*Favorable state and federal tax laws and regulations allow pass-through businesses to achieve remarkable benefits through the GOAL tax credit: a state tax credit, a federal tax deduction, and a meaningful philanthropic impact! Learn more.

Participation in the program, therefore, is not related to participation in the annual Strong Rock Fund.
