NON-PROFITS: HELP YOUR CLIENTS GET THEIR TAX CREDITS

The Earned Income Tax Credit helps struggling families make ends meet. Many of the same clients you serve could benefit from the additional dollars this credit provides.

Here's how you can help:

• Include EITC information in your agency's newsletter.
• Distribute a flyer (English) or brochure about the EITC in your handouts to clients.
• Distribute a flyer (Spanish) or brochure about the EITC in your handouts to clients.
• Post a poster on your bulletin board.
• Place flyers on a counter where clients are likely to see them.
• Put a link on your agency's website to www.piton.org/eitc.
• Make your agency's computers and Internet access available to your clients who want to e-file through the Free File Alliance at www.irs.gov/efile.
• Volunteer to be a Local EITC Coordinator and conduct a local outreach campaign. Campaign materials and training will be provided by The Piton Foundation. To volunteer to become a local coordinator please phone Bernita Hadley at 303.825.6246 x350 or email bhadley@piton.org.
