Atrium Health Navicent Baldwin

Georgia HEART Rural Hospital Tax Credit Program

Georgia HEART Hospital Program Logo

Help improve health care in our community by contributing to Atrium Health Navicent Baldwin through the Georgia HEART rural hospital tax credit opportunity!

If you pay Georgia income taxes, you are eligible to receive a 100% state income tax credit for contributing to Atrium Health Navicent Baldwin.

Beginning on July 1 of each year, as long as tax credits remain available, individual taxpayers may make unlimited contributions to rural hospitals for a corresponding 100% Georgia income tax credit.

Credits are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

Once the tax credit application is submitted, Georgia HEART takes care of the process on the taxpayer’s behalf, submitting the request to the DOR in the order in which it is received by HEART, notifying the taxpayer of their approval and payment deadline (180 days from approval date or 12/31/24, whichever comes first), and – once the payment is received – providing the taxpayer with the appropriate tax receipt for claiming the credit on his or her 2024 Georgia income tax return.

Your contribution will increase our hospital funding and our ability to provide for the health care of individuals in our community!
