About The Coalition

At the end of 2004, the informal group became the Cuyahoga EITC Coalition, and in January, 2005, the Cuyahoga County Department of Employment & Family Services awarded the Coalition a $200,000 grant to provide comprehensive services pertaining to the EITC for the 2006 tax season.  Coalition members are available at every point along the EITC service continuum to serve low-wage workers.  Work will include: outreaching on defining the EITC, operating VITA tax sites, training volunteers to prepare tax returns, building clients’ wealth, advocating for clients on legal issues such as IRS audits and tax cases and researching policy issues impacting the EITC and low-wage taxpayers.
