Why Give?

The Center for Economic Progress, a non-profit organization, gives low-income families something they don’t often have – options.

Through free tax and financial services and advocacy, the Center is a champion for low-income families. Read real stories about our impact. See our list of supporters. The Center is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and donations are tax-deductible.

• Assist a single parent in determining if the family qualifies for tax credits and public benefits like children’s health insurance coverage. 
• Help a financially struggling family get nearly $2,000 additional dollars through their tax refund.
• Advocate for tax policies that benefit low-income families.
• Save a low-wage worker hundreds of dollars in check-cashing fees by directing him or her to a reputable financial institution.
