Our impact

Your gift goes a long way.

We spend with intention. We leverage your support and community resources to ensure that we assist as many working taxpayers as possible.

We are guided by the belief that an individual’s ability to access tax services should not depend solely on his or her ability to pay for them.

Becuase of our free services, low-income families and individuals receive 100% of the refunds and tax credits that they are due and deserve – refunds that can add up to 40% of their income and move them above the poverty line.
