Normally:

You already pay state income taxes to Georgia every year. That money goes into the general state budget.

With Georgia HEART:

Instead of sending that money to the state, you redirect it to your local hospital.

You still pay the same amount in taxes overall—but now, your money stays local and supports healthcare in your community.

Why it’s “no cost to you”:

Because you’re getting a dollar-for-dollar tax credit, the amount you contribute comes right off your state tax bill.

So if you owe $1,000 in Georgia taxes and donate $1,000 through Georgia HEART, you now owe zero to the state.

You don’t lose any money—you just get to choose where your tax dollars go. Considering applying today at georgiaheart.org!
