This program opens on the first day of business in January with a statewide cap of $150 million. Once the cap is reached, no further donation requests are approved. Individuals can give up to $2,500.

The fund now has an annual donation limit of $120 million and since its inception, Georgia taxpayers and business have contributed over $1 billion. Whether you're an individual filer, married filing separate, or married filing jointly, you can contribute to ASF through this tax credit. ![](https://alynfund.org/hubfs/alyn-2022/logos/logo-icon.svg) Federal Tax Deduction Taxpayers who itemize their deductions may also be able to take a charitable deduction on the federal income tax return for the amount contributed to the Alyn Scholarship Fund. This is in addition to the tax credit they receive for their Georgia income taxes. We highly recommend consulting with your tax advisor(s) to provide the proper guidance in this process. ## Make Your Request to Contribute | | | | --- | --- | | ## Education Tax Credit Form ## Individual | | | Complete this form to allow ASF to submit your application to the GA Dept. of Revenue for a tax credit. | | | Choose your Filing Status \* | Individual - Up to $2,500 | | ## Taxpayer Information | | | First Name \* | | | Middle Name \* | | | Last Name \* | | | SSN \* | | | Street \* | | | Street2 | | | City \* | | | State \* | Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware District of Columbia Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming American Samoa Federated States of Micronesia Guam Marshall Islands Northern Mariana Islands Palau Puerto Rico U.S. Minor Outlying Islands Virgin Islands Armed Forces Americas Armed Forces Europe, the Middle East, an Armed Forces Pacific Alberta British Columbia Manitoba New Brunswick Newfoundland and Labrador Nova Scotia Northwest Territories Nunavat Territory Ontario Prince Edward Island Quebec Saskatchewan Yukon Territory | | Zip \* | | | Email \* | | | Verify Email \* | | | Cell Phone \* | | | ## Contribution Information | | | Contribution Amount \* | | | I would like my contribution to be... \* | Designated to a particular school or schools.
