Apogee is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a special SSO (Student Scholarship Organization) Georgia designation, which allows Apogee to provide its contributors with a dollar-for-dollar Georgia tax credit. Apogee is Frederica Academy’s tax credit SSO partner.

Contributing to Apogee is an opportunity to support Frederica Academy without any extra money coming out of the donor’s pocket. Donors can divert tax dollars to Frederica Academy as opposed to the State of Georgia. This is a critically impactful program as it supports high quality students who enrich the lives of their peers and contribute to the school in a wide variety of ways. The truth is that all students benefit from the Apogee program as the quality of one’s peers significantly affects performance, attitudes, and behavior. Consult a CPA or financial advisor for specifics on how the program can be personally advantageous.

Georgia taxpayers can direct their state tax dollars to Frederica Academy as opposed to the State Department of Revenue.

The donor earns a voice in how his or her tax dollars are being used for education and receives a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on his/her state tax return for the entire donation amount. The Golden Isles community retains more tax dollars “working” in Glynn County rather than being allocated to schools in other parts of Georgia. Having a stellar independent school in our area is an important community asset. Frederica Academy receives funds to help underwrite its need-based Financial Aid program. Qualifying and deserving students gain an opportunity to attend Frederica Academy as a result of the availability of Apogee scholarship support.
