Using check-off boxes on their tax forms for the 2005 tax year, Georgians dedicated $1.3 million of their refunds or chipped in additional money besides the tax owed, the Department of Revenue announced recently. And the donations are tax deduct ible. The donations, which were recently delivered to the organizations they’re meant to benefit, include: ■ $364,675.14 for the Georgia Wildlife Conservation Fund ■ $363,333.52 for the Georgia Cancer Research Fund ■ $261,285.19 for the Georgia Fund for Children and Elderly ■ $216,102.98 for the Georgia Greenspace Trust Fund ■ $107,559.40 for the Georgia National Guard Foundation. The donation for the guard group is a new one, created by the General Assembly last year as part of a package of bills meant to compensate for out-of-state deployment. The largest chunk of the money went to the Georgia Wildlife Conservation Funds, where it pays for a variety of initiatives to try to protect endangered or threatened species, said Mike Harris, chief of the non-game conservation sec tion at the Department of Natural Resources.
