The Peach Education Tax Credit allows taxpayers to donate to support innovative programs that foster educational excellence for students across the state. Donors receive dollar-for-dollar tax credit on their state income taxes. Your state tax dollars can stay local to directly benefit the Ben Hill County School District with no additional cost to you.
Ben Hill County School District is a choice through the Peach Education Tax Credit. The process is easy for individuals or businesses. Ben Hill County School District is excited about the possibilities that these donations can bring to our students. Ben Hill County Schools is committed to student success every day. If you have any questions, you can contact Payton Dix, CEO of Fitzgerald High School College & Career Academy, payton.dix@benhillschools.org or Natalie King, CFO for Ben Hill County Schools, natalie.king@benhillschools.org.
For more information about the Peach Education tax credit, you can visit our website at www.ben-hill.k12.ga.us for a step by step flier and presentation on how to get started or you can visit the Georgia Foundation of Public Education at gfpe.org.

The last step, you will claim the tax credit on your Georgia income tax return for a dollar-to-dollar credit on what you owe for state income taxes.
