People who want to support Jewish day schools shouldn’t let a state cap on an income tax program deter their participation, former Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta Chairman Marty Kogon says.
Kogon was the first chairman and is a board member of the ALEF Fund, a nonprofit student support organization that enables Georgians to designate their state income taxes to help Jewish day schools and preschools provide scholarships.
The ALEF Fund is not a charity, Kogon emphasized while speaking at the monthly meeting of the Jewish Breakfast Club on Wednesday, June 15, but a way for people to choose where their tax dollars go. An individual or corporation can designate ALEF Fund contributions for a specific school.
