The letter of the day is “V” for Very Awesome VITA Awareness Day Materials! No images? Click here Happy VITA Awareness Day! Prosperity Now and our partners across the country are thrilled to celebrate VITA Awareness Day with you! VITA and all its wonderful elements like dedicated volunteer staff, free, high-quality tax prep and its position within cornerstone community institutions are reasons we celebrate. And for this year’s VITA Awareness Day, we want to know what YOU celebrate about VITA! VITA Awareness Day Call to Action Along with your amazing advocacy, Prosperity Now and our partner United Way have been working to build funding for VITA through the annual appropriations process. With your hard work, federal VITA funding has more than doubled in the past decade. Still, continuing to expand VITA funding and strengthen the program is crucial to ensuring that VITA can continue to match a growing need for free tax preparation around the nation. Join our call to action today to request $45 million in VITA funding from Congress for fiscal year 2023! If you want to share your VITA pride, look no further than our digital toolkit. This toolkit includes copy-paste social media posts, beautiful graphics for publication, and state-level data sheets for all 50 states and the District of Columbia sharing the impact of VITA in local communities. Check out the toolkit and be sure to use #VITAAwarenessDay and tag @ProsperityNow in your posts!
