Please take a moment to view this video to learn more about the benefits of the GOAL Scholarship

Contribute to Wildwood and reduce your state tax obligation by the same amount! The GOAL scholarship program allows you to direct a portion of your state income tax obligation to Wildwood. This funding helps support the school’s scholarship program and holds down tuition costs for all students. Pay with your credit card and earn sky miles!
WHO’S ELIGIBLE? All Georgia residents of Georgia who pay state income tax. This applies to couples or individuals filing separately or jointly. Corporations may also participate. WHAT ARE THE TAX SAVINGS? An individual may contribute up to $1,000 per year. A couple filing jointly may contribute up to $2,500 per year. Corporations may contribute up to 75% of their tax liability. HOW DOES THE TAX CREDIT WORK? A taxpayer re-directing all or a portion of his Georgia income tax payments to GOAL and designating Wildwood receives an income tax credit in the same amount. For example, if a married couple filing jointly owes $6,000 in Georgia income taxes, they may make a maximum contribution to GOAL of $2,500. Their net income tax owed to the state is reduced to $3,500 after the credit is applied. WHAT DOES GOAL STAND FOR? It is an acronym which stands for ‘Georgia Education Expense Credit.’ This is a Georgia program that uses state income tax credit-eligible contributions to allow public school students to attend private schools. HOW DOES WILDWOOD BENEFIT? Wildwood is able to draw from a rich reservoir of local students who otherwise would not be able to afford private school. Wildwood benefits by increasing the size of its student body with students who want to learn. They add to the school’s culture of excellence and enhance the Wildwood experience for all students.

HOW DO WE PROCEED? Download and fill out the tax form and the Contribution form. Return the forms to Wildwood who will send them on to the Georgia Department of Revenue. You will receive a letter from the Department of Revenue approving your contribution request. Mail this plus your contribution check directly to Wildwood. Wildwood submits the check and approval letter directly to GOAL. Wildwood’s scholarship fund will be increased by the amount of your contribution. At tax time, you will take a dollar-for-dollar credit for the amount you contributed against taxes owed. (It falls under the heading of credit, not deduction.)
