The ALEF Fund was established by Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta in 2008 in response to new state legislation when Georgia’s General Assembly passed the Education Expense Credit law to provide families in our state with access to better educational opportunities for their children. Our guiding principle is to improve the affordability of Jewish education by awarding scholarship dollars to eligible students who wish to attend participating Jewish preschools, day schools and high schools.
In June 2023, ALEF Fund partnered with the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program, the largest student scholarship organization in the state, to administer the Education Expense Tax Credit on behalf of the ALEF Fund moving forward. Through the ALEF Fund and Georgia GOAL, you can support Jewish education in Georgia at virtually no cost to you through a dollar for dollar Georgia income tax credit received for your contribution.
