VITA Awareness Day is tomorrow!
Tomorrow, we celebrate VITA Awareness Day and we want all of you to join us! That’s why we’ve created the 2023 VITA Awareness Day Toolkit. This resource is full of sample social media posts, shareable images, and state-level data sheets that you can use to highlight the tremendous impact that VITA has in your own backyard!
Do you work with or really want to support your local VITA site? Share the story with a video!
To participate, you'll need to share the post on social media using #VITAAwarenessDay and tagging @ProsperityNow. If you need help coming up with a prompt, here are some starters:
- What does your VITA site offer to filers?
- What makes your VITA site stand apart from other Tax prep services?
If you need any inspiration, check out Vogue's "73 Questions". Feel free to use as many props, volunteers, or sound effects to make your post stand out.
We look forward to seeing your video and working closely together to ensure your VITA site gets the recognition it deserves!
Check out the latest from our #TaxTuesday campaign, expanding on a different tax topic each week. Follow along on social media @ProsperityNow!
