But one thing that has always remained clear about GOAL is that your core motivation is the desire to serve the students and families of Georgia through school choice. You have never wavered and have demonstrated time and time again, with the purest motives, your commitment to our school and students. You make an effort to know them individually and have seen first-hand the benefit of a private education. I could not be prouder of our association with Georgia GOAL. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.” – Jennifer New, Director of Development Mount Paran Christian School 2 Message from GOAL Dear Friends of GOAL, You have become part of a phenomenon. Georgia’s Education Expense Credit law presents a powerful opportunity to give parents more freedom in choosing the best K-12 education for their children. However, without your energy, enthusiasm and investment, the program would mean nothing, and would go nowhere. Through your diligence in seeking Education tax credits earlier each year, this life-changing program is having a statewide impact. To the thousands of thankful scholarship families, you are true American heroes. You are giving your community, our state, and ultimately our nation a chance to aim higher and achieve more. Thank you for being a part of this success by contributing to provide educational choice in Georgia. Truly, you deserve the “credit!” With appreciation, Lisa M.

We greatly respect and celebrate the thousands of Georgians responsible for this phenomenal success story. In 2018, lawmakers enacted the largest cap increase in the 11-year history of the program, increasing the total available tax credits to $100 million per year, for at least the next ten years. As a result, thousands of additional students will have access to Greater Opportunities for Access to Learning – GOAL!

GOAL continues to receive contributions from a growing number of loyal and committed Georgia taxpayers, whose overwhelming support for better educational opportunities is groundbreaking and nationally-recognized. Your passionate and persistent support and outreach were essential to securing a significant cap increase. Most importantly, joining our GOAL student graduates, we throw our hats in the air to celebrate their achievements and look upward with them to even brighter futures.
