You pay state income taxes to support public schools. What if you could specify which communities you support? Now you can!
When you give through the GO for Kingfisher Education Tax Credit, you empower education and support students in your community — and get a tax credit too!
Transform your state income tax dollars into funding for Kingfisher Public Schools. You’ll help students, families, teachers, and the community, plus get a tax credit, which saves you more than a tax deduction.

“Our first grant from GO for Public Schools funded an intensive Reading Program, which led to dramatic improvements in the reading skills of our elementary school students in Kingfisher. All of those kids are now on a much better educational trajectory for the future!”
“Contributing through GO is a no-brainer! Oklahoma taxpayers earn up to a 75% state income tax credit for contributing and the GO contribution is used right here in Kingfisher to focus on high impact, innovative programs that strengthen our local schools.”
“Kingfisher is the first community in the State of Oklahoma to collaborate with GO for Public Schools to make the benefits of our State's education tax credit law work for Kingfisher Public Schools! And it's doing great things for our students, families, teachers and the entire community.”
Kingfisher Public Schools Community,
Public schools are the heart of our community. Every day, our Yellowjackets benefit from families, businesses and neighbors who believe in the power of a great education.
Kingfisher was the first community in Oklahoma to partner with GO for Public Schools to put our state’s education tax credit law to work for our local schools. Our first grant through the GO for Kingfisher Education Tax Credit Fund paid for an intensive reading program that led to dramatic improvements in the reading skills of our elementary students.
When you contribute to the GO for Kingfisher Education Tax Credit Fund, your gift stays right here in Kingfisher to support high-impact, innovative programs for our students — and you earn an Oklahoma state income tax credit worth up to 75% of your contribution.
Thank you for investing in our students, our schools and our community.
Go Yellowjackets!
No! GO funding does not disturb or change funding allocated to Kingfisher Public Schools under the state funding formula. Think of GO contributions as funding that adds to traditional public school funding.
Yes, you can contribute both individually (as a single person) or jointly (as a married couple) and through a legal business entity that you control; however, the business contribution route is generally better from a tax perspective and can allow you to maximize your tax savings.
Think of a tax credit as a gift card that you can use to pay your taxes. Tax credits directly reduce your tax burden on a dollar-for-dollar basis regardless of your marginal tax rate. On the other hand, the value of a tax deduction depends on several factors specific to each taxpayer, including whether you itemize deductions and your marginal tax rate. A tax deduction only reduces the base of your taxable income and therefore only indirectly reduces your tax burden by saving you cents on the dollar.
Your GO for Kingfisher contributions go to support the Kingfisher community by funding innovative educational programs in Kingfisher schools. Such innovative programs are focused on improving student educational outcomes, enhancing the overall quality of a Kingfisher education, achieving the strategic plan of Kingfisher Public Schools, and assisting Kingfisher Public Schools in achieving its broader mission for the community.
