Georgia HEART Hospital Program
Imagine a Georgia where every community has access to top-tier healthcare, right in their backyard. Now, imagine playing a direct role in making that a reality, simply by redirecting a portion of the state taxes you already owe!
Welcome to the Georgia HEART Hospital Program, a groundbreaking initiative that empowers YOU – individuals and businesses alike – to transform healthcare in our rural communities. Instead of your state tax liability disappearing into the general fund, you can choose to send it directly to a qualifying rural hospital, like Atrium Health Navicent Peach.
Why is this a game-changer for you and for Georgia?
100% Tax Credit: This isn't a deduction, it's a dollar-for-dollar tax credit! For every dollar you contribute to Atrium Health Navicent Peach through the HEART program (up to specified limits), you receive a 100% credit on your Georgia income tax. It's truly "no cost" philanthropy – you're simply deciding where your tax dollars go.
Boost Your Local Economy: Rural hospitals are often the largest employers and economic anchors in their communities. Your contribution helps ensure these vital institutions can continue to provide jobs, support local businesses, and offer a sense of security that attracts new residents and industries.
Enhance Healthcare Access and Quality: Atrium Health Navicent Peach plays a critical role in providing essential medical services to Peach County and surrounding areas. Your support directly funds improvements in facilities, equipment, and staffing, leading to better patient care and expanded services for thousands of Georgians.
Strategic Advantage for Businesses: Beyond the 100% state tax credit, many businesses, especially pass-through entities, can also realize significant federal tax savings. Recent legislation allows pass-through businesses to elect to pay state income taxes at the entity level, often leading to a double tax benefit – a state credit AND a federal deduction. It's a win-win for your bottom line and for community health.
Easy and Impactful: The process is streamlined through Georgia HEART. Simply apply online, get pre-approval from the Department of Revenue, and make your contribution. Georgia HEART handles the rest, ensuring your dollars make a direct, tangible impact.
Support your local hospital! Select Atrium Health Navicent Peach to redirect your state tax liability and become a part of the solution that's building a healthier, stronger Georgia. Don't just pay your taxes – invest them in the well-being of your community. Visit GeorgiaHeart.org today to learn more and make your contribution!
