Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program
MAKE A WIN-WIN IMPACT: REDIRECT YOUR GEORGIA TAX LIABILITY TO SUPPORT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AT GALLOWAY
Individuals and Corporations (partners in partnerships, LLC owners, and shareholders of S-Corps) paying Georgia taxes are eligible for a dollar-for-dollar credit on state income taxes. Every year, the Georgia Private School Tax Credit Program, combined with support from Galloway’s endowment and Annual Fund dollars, plays a critical role in the School’s overall financial assistance initiatives. Your participation in this program makes a substantial impact on the School's ability to enroll bright, motivated, and curious students regardless of their family's ability to pay full tuition.
*GEORGIA GOAL WILL BE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS THROUGH DECEMBER 2024.
Redirect your 2025 GA tax liability:
Galloway partners with Georgia GOAL, the state’s leading Student Scholarship Organization (SSO). GOAL works with 166 independent schools throughout Georgia and has awarded tuition assistance to more than 21,744 deserving students since the program’s 2008 inception. Currently, 36 Galloway students receive financial assistance through tax credits. Because of the popularity of the program, applications for a 2025 tax credit must be submitted by December 15, 2024. To submit your application for this program, please visit www.goalscholarship.org.
Please note that the Georgia Private School Tax Credit Program provides an opportunity for participants to redirect tax liability already owed to the State of Georgia to a restricted priority (financial assistance), at a favorite independent school. Participation in the program, therefore, is not related to participation in the Galloway Annual Fund.
The maximum redirections by filing method are:
Filing Status | Contribution Level | |
Individual Filer | Up to $2,500 | |
Married Filing Separately | Up to $2,500 | |
Married Filing Jointly | Up to $5,000 | |
Partnership, LLC, S-Corp | Up to $25,000 | |
C-Corp or Trust | Up to 75% of annual Georgia income tax liability |
GOAL has received significantly more tax credit applications as compared to past years. Don't miss out on this opportunity.
