About the EITC Funders Network

Almost 300 national, regional, local, corporate, and family foundations representatives participate in the EITC Funders Network.

The EITC Funders Network brings together funders interested in the Earned Income Tax Credit, free- and low-cost tax preparation, and asset building. The EITC Funders Network seeks to provide a platform for discussion and exchange among funders and disseminate information based on field-wide issues and concerns. As a result of our work, funders are more informed about EITC-linked strategies to reduce poverty and able to shape the field according to emerging innovations and best practices.
