Georgia Taxpayers –<br />
Don’t Miss This Opportunity!<br />
If you are a Georgia resident or own a Georgia-based business and pay state income taxes, you need to know about a relatively<br />
new law which allows individual and corporate taxpayers to contribute to approved Student Scholarship Organizations (SSO’s) and<br />
receive a dollar-for-dollar credit against their income tax liabilities.<br />
This is an amazing way to pay income tax, get the money back, AND help private education in the process. In 2011 we had<br />
approximately $108,000 donated through this program and these gifts made a significant difference in the lives of students at GCA.<br />
Here is how the process works:<br />
1) If you want to participate in this program you must first apply to the Georgia Department of Revenue and become<br />
approved as a donor. (Forms are available online at the GCA website, the Georgia-Cumberland Conference, or<br />
through the Georgia Department of Education website. Or call us and we will provide the forms and walk you through<br />
the process.)<br />
2) Following your approval from the state, you will make a gift to an approved Student Scholarship Organization. GCA<br />
has a relationship with two approved SSO’s: The Institute for Educational Advancement and the Georgia-Cumberland<br />
Conference.<br />
3) Please let the SSO know your contribution is intended to benefit GCA.<br />
Let us help you take advantage of this great tax opportunity! Please call or email Nancy Gerard at 706-625-7166 or<br />
nagerard@gcasda.org.<br />
PLEASE NOTE: It is anticipated that the state’s cap on this program ($60 million) will be reached well before the end<br />
of the calendar year. DO NOT delay in submitting your application to donate through this program or you may miss this<br />
opportunity!<br />
