By redirecting a portion of your state tax dollars through a contribution to Georgia GOAL, you are earmarking those tax dollars toward needs-based educational scholarships for students to attend Roberts Academy.
In 2008, the Georgia General Assembly passed House Bill 1133. This law allows you, a Georgia taxpayer, to redirect a portion of your Georgia income tax liability to provide scholarship assistance to incoming Roberts Academy students!
The GOAL program is an important opportunity provided to Georgians by our elected officials. In exchange for contributions to Georgia GOAL, taxpayers receive a 100% state income tax credit!
This is a proven opportunity that is a win-win-win for taxpayer donors, scholarship recipients, and the Roberts Academy 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 an education from the Roberts Academy.
