GEORGIA GOAL
Georgia Goal tax credit cap of $58 million for 2013 has been reached. Thank you to those who have made a tax designation and are helping Fellowship's scholarship program through Georgia Goal. The Georgia Department of Revenue is now in the process of collecting payments not yet remitted so if your application has been approved please make your payments as soon as possible. If your status is "pending approval" clarification as whether you made it before the cap was reached will be forthcoming. Now is the time to make your plans for designating your 2014 Georgia state taxes to Fellowship.
GEORGIA GOAL
FELLOWSHIP FUND UPDATE
Parent Participation = 88%
Almost to our goal of 90% PP!
Fellowship Fund donations can be made through June 30, 2013. So even if you have not contributed yet there is still time. We need YOUR help today to reach our goal of 90% parent participation. Please prayerfully consider making a donation by simply clicking to make an on-line donation. A participation percentage of 90%+ is an important key to FCS being able to confidently approach foundations for grants and other FREE money. ANY size gift counts and for each percentage point increase, an anonymous donor GIVES us $1,000.00. Not only will you be helping your Fellowship family increase our participation percentage but your dollar amount is also multiplied!
We are so close to reaching our 90% parent participation goal! A BIG THANK YOU to ALL the Fellowship families who have donated and are fulfilling their pledge!
