Georgia GOAL Tax Credit
Support Cornerstone by Turning Your Tax Dollars into Tuition Assistance
Would you like to help make a Cornerstone Prep education more accessible - at no cost to you?
Through the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program, you can redirect a portion of your Georgia state income tax to provide financial aid for students at Cornerstone Preparatory Academy. This is a win-win opportunity: you receive a 100% state tax credit, and more students are able to thrive in our Christ-centered, University-Model school.
Why Participate?
-
It’s a tax credit, not a deduction.
You get 100% of your contribution back as a credit.
-
You choose where your tax dollars go.
Support Cornerstone Prep directly instead of sending it to the state.
-
You change lives.
Your gift helps deserving families afford a Christ-centered education.

2. Receive Approval.
The Georgia Department of Revenue will notify you of your approved tax credit amount in mid-January.
3. Make Your Contribution.
Once approved, you have 60 days to make your contribution to the GOAL Scholarship Program—designating Cornerstone Prep as the recipient school.
4. Claim the Credit on Your Taxes.
When filing your Georgia income taxes, you receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit - reducing what you owe or increasing your refund.

Real Impact, Real Stories
Each year, families are able to enroll or remain at Cornerstone Prep thanks to generous GOAL contributors. Your support enables students to grow academically, spiritually, and personally in a nurturing environment.
"Supporting the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program has been one of the easiest and most rewarding decisions we've made. Not only do we get to allocate our state tax dollars to a private religious school, knowing our contribution helps provide deserving students with access to a quality education is incredibly fulfilling. It is a meaningful way to invest in both individual lives and the future of our community at no cost to us. The best part is that because I participate through my business, I actually save on federal taxes due to the federal tax deduction on my contribution."
