(May 20, 2024) – The City of Gainesville, Georgia is proud to announce the creation of the Gainesville Police Foundation Inc. (GPF), which allows those interested to keep their tax dollars at home by redirecting funds to the Gainesville Police Department (GPD) rather than being sent to the Georgia Department of Revenue for distribution. The Law Enforcement Strategic Support Act, or LESS Crime Act, provides for tax credits for certain contributions made by taxpayers to certain local law enforcement foundations. “This legislation allows businesses and individual taxpayers to claim a tax credit for their charitable contributions to qualified law enforcement foundations, such as the Gainesville Police Foundation,” said Gainesville Police Chief Jay Parrish, who led efforts to establish GPF for the benefit of existing GPD donors. This dollar-for-dollar tax credit program allows single filers to claim up to $5,000, married couples up to $10,000, S corporations and partnerships up to $10,000, and qualified C corporations up to 75% of their state tax liability up to $3 million per calendar year. The state cap is $75 million per calendar year. “Whatever funds the Gainesville Police Department receives will be directed toward training opportunities, education for police officers, equipment and school safety initiatives, and used to support GPD’s mental health clinician program,” Parrish said. “This will help ensure GPD has the best resources possible for the benefit of the Gainesville, Georgia community.” Continue reading here: https://lnkd.in/eNdGeaFe
