Dear Friends of Cresco Montessori School,

A friendly reminder: The 2016 GA income tax redirection program early application is due on 12/15/2015.  I recommend you apply to donate the maximum limit, because the demand to donate is larger than the allowed Total Cap of $58mm for the State.  Our 2015 tax donors were only able to donate 58% of what we applied to donate.  Your FULL donation amount, are secured and awarded by Apogee as scholarship to needed Pre-K/K students , so that they can enroll in Cresco.  Cresco Montessori School receives tuition payments to provide education services to children, funds are paid either by parents, state fundings, and or scholarships from Apogee. 

For example, donors applied for $2500 donation in December  2014, but were only approved to donate for $1585 , once donation completed by donors.   Students will have opportunity to apply scholarships from Apogee.   and we gave out $158 cash value visa gift card in appreciation of donors from our regular operation funds. OR,   If your child is a student of Cresco, we give out 30% of donation amount for tuition credit $475.50.

The 2015 $58 million cap was met on January 1st, 2015 in record time!      

 A new $58 million will become available again on January 1, 2016.  As we expect the 2016 tax credit cap to again be met on the first day of the year, Apogee is now accepting early applictions for the 2016 tax year.  

Is there a limit to how much I can give each year?

Yes, the amount you can give is limited by your tax filing status:
· Married Filing Jointly: Maximum of $2,500
· Individual Filer: Maximum of $1,000
· Married Filing Separately: Maximum of $1,250
· Individuals who receive pass-through income can contribute up to $10k  
· C-Corporation: Up to 75% of GA tax liability

There are so many benefits for donors by participate in this tax redirection program: 

1. Fed. and state income tax saving:  the donation amount as charity donation, itemized deduction.  (please be mindful, you are donated to Apogee/non-for-profit to benefit Cresco Montessori school., not donated to Cresco directly, so yes, every dollar is charity contribution!)

2. Fulfill GA state income tax obligation the amount that you donated. It is like your payroll tax withhold, if overpaid, will be refunded.  If you do not have so much tax obligation, the tax donated can be considered for prepaid for the next 5 years.

3. Appreciation from Cresco Montessori School by giving out 10% of visa/master gift card that you can shop anywhere.  Or 30% tuition credit if you child/grandchild enrolled in any Cresco campuses

.
