Receive a tax credit by directing your tax dollars to Morah Carol’s Place at OVS, at no net cost to you, through the ALEF Fund!
Georgia law allows you to redirect your state tax dollars to support scholarships for accredited private schools, including Jewish schools, and specifically Morah Carol’s Place. Since it's a state credit, not a deduction, it's money you would have sent to the state anyway, and you still get the Federal deduction - in some tax situations, you may even save on your taxes!
The ALEF Fund provides scholarships to Pre-K, kindergarten, primary or secondary public school students who wish to attend participating Jewish private schools. It’s the only organization in Georgia that provides student scholarships exclusively to Jewish schools.
We greatly appreciate our relationship, not just as landlord and tenant, but as friends together in the Keilah. Please go to aleffund.org and choose Morah Carol’s Place as your school of choice by December 31 for your dollar to dollar tax credit.
