HOW TO MAKE A SCHOLARSHIP DONATION TO GGA & CLAIM YOUR EDUCATION TAX CREDIT

Businesses and individuals donating to GGA to fund scholarships for low- and middle-income K-12 children in New Hampshire can receive an 85% Education Tax Credit from the State of New Hampshire against business profits tax (BPT), business enterprise tax (BET), and interest and dividends tax (I&D).

Education Tax Credit Applications can be submitted to the NH Department of Revenue are processed on a first-come, first-served basis until the cap in credits is reached. Therefore, businesses and individuals are encouraged to submit the Education Tax Credit Application early in the year and we are happy to assist you. Click here to contact us.

STEP 1. DETERMINE YOUR ELIGIBILITY AND CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT

Estimate your New Hampshire BPT, BET, or I&D liability for the year. Determine the amount of this liability you would like to contribute to GGA.

STEP 2. APPLY

Mail your completed Education Tax Credit Application (Form ED-02) to the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration at:

NH DRA Education Tax Credit
P.O. Box 637
Concord, NH 03302-0637

STEP 3. ONCE APPROVED, SEND CONTRIBUTION TO GGA

Approximately 2-3 weeks after applying, you should receive written approval via mail from the Department of Revenue Administration. Within 60 days of receiving your approval, send your contribution (amount on line 7 of ED-02 application) to:

Giving and Going Alliance
37 Regional Drive
Concord, NH 03301

Note: If you are not eligible for an Education Tax Credit, you can still contribute to the Giving and Going Alliance (a 501c3 nonprofit) by making a federally tax-deductible charitable contribution.

STEP 4. RECEIVE YOUR TAX CREDIT

GGA will send you the Education Tax Credit Scholarship Receipt (ED-03) within 15 days, which you must include with your New Hampshire State Tax Return to receive your tax credit. GGA will use your contribution to assist low-income children with scholarships.

We look forward to partnering this year and for many many years to come to reduce the achievement gap and help New Hampshire children get the education they need.
