Now qualified individuals and businesses can make a donation to the Dunwoody Police Department through the Dunwoody Police Foundation (DPF) and receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit.
New legislation allows Georgia taxpayers to claim tax credit for supporting local public safety efforts by contributing to qualified law enforcement foundations.
Established in 2019, the DPF, a 501(c)(3) entity, recently has been accepted as a Georgia qualified law enforcement foundation.
All funds collected by DPF are used to directly support Dunwoody officers through Equipment, Training, Community Oriented Partnerships and an Emergency Aid Program.
Different from a tax deduction, a tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the amount of tax owed.
To start the process of registering for pre-approval with the Georgia Tax Center, visit gtc.dor.ga.gov/_/.
