Did you know you can support foster youth and receive a state tax credit? ?? Through Georgia’s Fostering Success Act, individuals and businesses can direct their state tax dollars to Goshen Valley, making a real impact in the lives of children and families in foster care—all while benefiting from a tax credit. Here’s how it works: -C-corporations can contribute up to 10% of their Georgia tax liability. -Individuals can contribute $2,500 (single/head of household) or $5,000 (married filing jointly). -After July 1, taxpayers can contribute any amount if the state cap hasn’t been reached. Our tax credit booklet breaks down all the details and steps you need to take part in this incredible opportunity. Access it on our website https://lnkd.in/eRGhFEmF and see how easy it is to give back! As Sabre Linahan, CPA, Partner at Smith + Howard Advisory LLC puts it: "The tax credit guide provided by Goshen walks taxpayers through the process of applying for and claiming the credit... a great resource for those looking to participate. I encourage other tax and financial advisors to discuss this credit opportunity with their clients." Now is the perfect time to get involved, keep your tax dollars in the community, and make a difference in the lives of foster youth. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out—we're happy to help! #GoshenValley #FosteringSuccessAct #TaxCredit #CommunityImpact #GiveBack #FosterCare

The?Goshen Valley Foundation, a pillar in Cherokee County charity for over two decades, recently expanded with the addition of its new?Family Resource Center. On Marietta Highway in Canton, the Family Resource Center will be a light for the foster care system in Cherokee County and will provide resources for anyone in need in the community. Learn more about what the new facility offers and how it furthers the vision and mission of Goshen Valley in our latest story, "With Peace and Purpose" by Makenzie Bird.

Did you know that May is Foster Care Awareness month? Like most of you, we are still talking about and seeing the economic impacts of the pandemic. One of impacts, has been an increased number of children coming into the foster care system to no fault of their own. As the number of children entering foster care goes up, the amount of available resources in that country can significantly drop. Which causes many children to be placed in other counties further away. Our community needs more open and loving homes! We’d like to invite you come learn about the Goshen difference and how we provide full wrap around services for foster homes and biological families. We know that not everyone is set up to foster but maybe someone you know is. Please consider joining us in bringing awareness! Happy Foster Care Awareness Month! May 18th - Next foster parent training course. Contact for Impact class: [email protected]
