Public Safety Foundation seeks donations, cites Georgia state tax-credit program
Summary
Representatives of the Johns Creek Public Safety Foundation described benevolent programs (retired K9 care, scholarships) and asked RPAC to help publicize a Georgia state tax-credit program that can convert state tax liability into donations for certified public safety foundations.
Representatives from the Johns Creek Public Safety Foundation described the group's benevolence for active-duty personnel and their families, and outlined fundraising events including a chili cook-off and an April 12 5K at Cawley Creek. The foundation said donated funds have paid medical bills for retired police dogs and funeral expenses and are also used for scholarships for children of public-safety employees.
Staff and board members emphasized a Georgia tax-credit program for certified public safety foundations and urged committee members to help spread the word. "This is a dollar for dollar tax credit for donations made to a certified public safety foundation," a foundation representative said, adding individual limits of $5,000 and higher caps for corporations. The foundation also requested volunteers and sponsors for its events and said it aims to expand donations in 2025.
