Support CCS and receive a GA tax credit and a Federal Charitable Contribution! 

Dear CCS Friends and Family,

A new law has been passed that provides exciting possibilities for CCS and its families. Under the new Georgia Private School Tax Credit, all tax payers are now eligible to receive a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit in exchange for their re-allocation to a state-approved Student Scholarship Organization, or SSO. This allows for every taxpayer to divert some or all of their state tax payment for 2009 to CCS scholarships at no cost to you. This fund benefits families in need of scholarships. In addition to a state tax credit, your tax redirection can be utilized as a charitable contribution deduction on your federal return.

After careful research, we have opted to partner with the Apogee Georgia School Choice Scholarship Fund, a Georgia 501(c)3 Student Scholarship Organization, to administer the program on our behalf. Maximum re-allocations are $2,500 for married filing jointly and $1,000 for individuals. C-Corporations can redirect up to 75% of their corporate tax liability and receive that amount as a dollar-for-dollar credit on Georgia taxes.

These credits are not indefinitely available. The state has placed a cap on the maximum amount of funds that can be redirected during the 2009 tax year. We are now quickly working to obtain re-allocations and receive pre-approval before that cap is reached, and we urgently need your participation.

We are looking to the CCS community to support this program and help make it the success we know it can be. This program applies to all individuals or corporations paying GA state taxes, so you can also help by providing this information to others who might be interested in diverting some of their tax payments to CCS.

Please review the enclosed materials and consider helping us in this exciting effort. If you have any questions about this program, please do not hesitate to contact us or John Panessa, our representative at Apogee, at 404.419.7123 or via email at jpanessa@apogee360.com .

Thank you for your continued support of and commitment to Covenant Christian School.
