Mission and Values

Mission Statement

AccountAbility Minnesota is dedicated to providing high quality tax preparation and related financial services to individuals and families of limited means by leveraging volunteer resources and advising and assisting others to provide similar services in their communities.

Core Values

AccountAbility Minnesota is guided by principles of economic justice and fairness. We are committed to:

Integrity -- We value integrity, openness and honesty in our relationships with the community and the people we serve.

Innovation and Excellence -- We strive for innovation and excellence in our work.

Accountability and Responsiveness -- As an organization, we are accountable and responsive to the needs of our diverse community.

Inclusiveness -- We respect the diversity in our community and will not allow these differences to affect a person’s opportunities.

Empowerment -- We are committed to individuals and families determining their own financial future and achieving economic stability.

West Central Minnesota Communities Action has been working with AccountAbility Minnesota for several years, assisting in the operation of our VITA Tax Clinic. As a partner, AccountAbility Minnesota has offered training, support and guidance in the complete structure of a tax clinic.

Collaboration with AccountAbility Minnesota is vital and I feel confident in saying that without their support our tax clinic would not be as successful.
