Learning to Serve

Learning to Serve A Georgia Student Scholarship Organization providing K-12 educational scholarships for students actively engaging in service to their communities.

We are a Georgia Student Scholarship Organization (SSO). SSOs help students and parents with school choice in Georgia. In 2008, the GA General Assembly passed a law which established the Qualified Education Expense Tax Credit Program that allows individuals and corporations in Georgia to receive a dollar-for-dollar income tax credit for amounts contributed towards a qualified SSO. The contribution

s we receive are used to fund scholarships for students to attend the K-12 accredited private school of each student's choice. Applicants apply directly to us, and scholarships are awarded based on merit. Our goal is for the student to learn to serve their communities as part of their education. Current tax credit limits for SSO donations are capped as follows:
• Single individual or head of household – up to $2,500
• Married couple filing joint return – up to $5,000
• Member of a pass-through entity (LLC, subchapter S-Corporation, partnership) – up to $25,000
• Member of a C-Corporation – up to 75% of the organization’s income tax liability

How to donate and receive a tax credit:
1) Visit www.learningtoserve.org/contribution-form to submit your online application. Ideally this would be completed prior to December 31. Learning to Serve will then submit your application to the DOR, and after it is processed, DOR will mail you an approval letter.
2) Make your donation to Learning to Serve via check within 60 days of receiving the DOR approval letter.
3) Following receipt of your donation, Learning to Serve will send you the required paperwork to claim the credit with your taxes.
4) Check with your tax professional, as you may be eligible for a federal tax deduction as well. For more information, including the impact of our scholarships since 2008 and the Student Scholarship Application, please visit www.learningtoserve.org.

Thank you to Promise686 for hosting a Learning to Serve Lunch & Learn today! They introduced us to some of their business partners who wanted to learn more about redirecting their income taxes to allow students from fostering and adoptive families to attend the schools of their choice. We love supporting families who are serving children through fostering and adopting!

Renasant Bank recently redirected a portion of their 2026 GA income taxes to LTS to benefit Pinewood Christian Academy (Est. 1970) in Bellville, GA. Their generous contribution will help local students overcome financial barriers to school choice so they can attend the school that is right for them.

“This is a proven opportunity that is a win-win-win for contributors, scholarship recipients, and schools,” says Mandy Hudson, Learning to Serve Executive Director. “Their contribution resulted in a dollar-for-dollar credit towards their 2026 taxes and allowed them to keep their tax dollars local while rewarding students for their service to the community.”

Kevin Cloud, Pinewood Christian Academy Head of School, is grateful for the support from Renasant. “Our local businesses offer tremendous support in many ways,” he says. “Receiving these funds will ease the financial burden on families and empower them to make the best choice for their child’s education.”

For more information on redirecting your GA income taxes to support students in your community, email [email protected].

JaCobe is a 4-year-old LTS recipient who has found a creative way to serve his community of Calhoun, GA.

One Saturday per month, he visits the local laundromat. He helps people by giving them the coins and laundry detergent needed to clean and dry their clothes. He also gives people donuts and water while they are waiting for their clothes to wash and dry. He even helps fold their clothes if they wish.

He says he loves helping others and making their day easier. We love this service project, JaCobe!!
