Put Your Tax Dollars to Work for Effingham Health System Through Georgia HEART

Did you know your Georgia state income taxes can help provide essential care to rural communities, including those served by Effingham Health System? Through the Georgia HEART Hospital Program, you can Help Enhance Access to Rural Treatment by directing your state tax dollars to support our hospital’s mission.

Through HEART, all Georgia taxpayers have the chance to choose where their tax dollars go, with 100% of the contribution qualifying as a state income tax credit, up to these limits (January 1 to June 30):

  • Individual Filer – up to $5,000
  • Married Filing Separately – up to $5,000
  • Married Filing Jointly – up to $10,000
  • Individual Owner of S-Corp, LLC, or Partnership (Pass-Through Entity) NOT paying tax at entity level – up to $25,000
  • C Corporation, Trust, or Pass-Through Entity electing to pay tax at entity level – up to 75% of annual Georgia tax liability

After June 30, as long as credits remain in the $100 million annual cap, individual taxpayers may make unlimited contributions to eligible rural hospitals for a corresponding 100% Georgia income tax credit.

It is time to reserve your spot for the 2025 tax year. Our hospital very much needs these funds and – with your help – we can be sure to obtain our share!

Credits are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so reserve your spot today by visiting www.georgiaheart.org. Completing the HEART tax credit application takes less than a minute, and the Georgia HEART team will handle the rest – from submitting your application to the Georgia Department of Revenue to providing your tax receipt after your contribution is made.

This program is essential in allowing Effingham Health System to provide top-quality care to our patients, enabling us to make a meaningful impact in our community and build a healthier, stronger Georgia. Thank you for choosing to support us through your 2025 HEART tax credit application – your participation makes a real difference!
