John,
Not only is today Tax Day, but National Volunteer Week is underway now. This reminds me of two things — the inequity of the country’s tax system and the need for the training we provide volunteers to help turn the system around. Reform is essential as long as the tax system discriminates against low-income people of color. Will you please help by making a tax-deductible contribution today?
With you beside us, Prosperity Now is advancing programs like the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, which provides free, high-quality IRS certified tax-preparation services to lower-income Americans, persons with disabilities, and limited English-speaking taxpayers, through trained volunteers. That means families who don’t have access to traditional tax-preparation services are supported by trained tax-preparers so they can claim all the tax credits they have rightfully earned. And that, in turn, builds wealth for lower-income families.
Volunteers make VITA possible — and we at Prosperity Now help secure its funding and train VITA volunteers. Our free online curriculum, VITA-Train, helps frontline volunteers learn new tax laws and prepare for the IRS Basic and Advanced Volunteer Certification Test to provide accurate, top-notch tax-prep services to communities without access. You can power work like this with a tax-deductible donation today.
Donor support helps to develop the necessary training, materials, and outreach needed to bring this program to households working to make ends meet. I hope you’ll support what Prosperity Now stands for with a donation today. Together, we can transform the tax system, leverage the tax code to generate wealth for low-income families, and train the frontline volunteers who make changes in their communities. Please give today.
In solidarity,
Gary Cunningham
