Foster Child Tax Credit

In Georgia, over 500 youth exit foster care and are left to fend for themselves each year with many having no skills to help aid in this transition. Leaving foster care without achieving permanence carries lifelong consequences. However, thanks to the Fostering Success Tax Credit, also known as the Qualified Foster Child Donation Credit, your tax dollars can now bring new hope for youth transitioning from foster care. Broken Shackle Ranch used 100% of these donated funds directly for post secondary education here on our campus as we are a accredited vocational school and teach GED as well. We only offer this opportunity to the young men that are in our care so we can have the best opportunity to make the largest positive impact possible , lasting the rest of their life.

As a Georgia taxpayer, you can redirect your taxes to Broken Shackle Ranch to help prevent poverty and homelessness for youth transitioning out of the foster care system. With an initial annual cap of $20 million, donations received through the program will support our Independent Living Programs which provides guidance and support for these young men. When you participate, you receive a 100% tax credit to your state income tax bill for your contribution.

Funds are limited, so apply today!
