Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Outreach Campaign

Through the continued support of the Benedum Foundation the WVASF serves as the statewide leader for the EITC outreach effort. The EITC is for working families with low and moderate incomes. It can help reduce tax burdens, boost income and help people move from welfare to work. Our role is to build capacity for seven regional EITC coalitions, establish strategic partnerships, and provide promotional materials and resources. Through the seven regional coalitions the WV EITC campaign is able to provide Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) services in every county across the state. The West Virginia Alliance for Sustainable Families works with several other state organizations each year to encourage citizens to apply for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Outreach activities include the dissemination of educational materials, a media campaign and tax assistance. For more information call (304) 342-6972 or visit www.wveitc.com.
