The GOAL Program is a remarkable and brilliant opportunity provided to Georgians by our elected officials. The GOAL fundamentals include:
  • The fundamental right of parents to choose the best K-12 education for their children
  • The essential Georgia law that empowers taxpaying citizens to be part of the solution to improving education in our state – at no cost
  • The vital program component, whereby individual compassion is indispensable to addressing the need for excellent K-12 educational opportunities for all students
In exchange for contributions to Georgia GOAL, our partner Student Scholarship Organization, 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 our school community. By simply contributing to Georgia GOAL for a 100% Georgia income tax credit, you will help maximize this source of financial aid for deserving families desiring to receive a Brookwood School education.

What is GOAL?

In 2008, Georgia elected officials passed the Education Expense Credit law to provide Georgia families with access to better educational opportunities for their children. Through this program, qualified Georgia taxpayers may redirect a portion of their income tax to fund scholarships for eligible students. Brookwood School partners with the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program, Inc. to facilitate this program.

If you have questions about your role as a GOAL Supporter, please contact Kelly Campbell, our Director of Advancement, at 229-226-8070 or kcampbell@brookwoodschool.org.
