Please find below the information and resources to better explain the tax credit and your options for donating. You can go to the donation page to begin the process.

This tax credit was passed into law in May, 2008. CCS is excited about the law as it has financial benefits both for you and CCS. The state has set aside $50 million in available credits each year, distributed on a first come first served basis.

Under the new law, you can redirect a portion of your Georgia income tax liability to provide scholarship assistance to incoming CCS students that are currently enrolled in public school or going into our k4 or k5 program. You will receive a tax credit on your state income taxes and a charitable contribution deduction on your federal incomes taxes for the amount donated. For married couples filing jointly, the maximum tax credit-eligible contribution is $2,500 ($1,000 as an individual).

We have partnered with Apogee Georgia School Choice Scholarship Fund, a state approved Student Scholarship Organization (SSO), to enable the CCS community to take advantage of this program. With a donation to the Apogee Georgia School Choice Scholarship fund, a Georgia state income tax credit is available to you for the tax year the donation is made. Your donation can be used as a charitable contribution deduction on your Federal tax return.
