From Chicago to Marion and Springfield to East St. Louis, we work with dozens of community partners, who serve as tax site hosts—providing us with a space to bring our free tax and financial services to their community.  

Our host partners, who range from faith-based organizations to libraries and social service organizations, reap great benefits:

• Improved visibility
• Expanded services for existing clients
• Increased foot traffic and more clients

As tax site hosts, our partners enlarge their role in helping generate local economic impact. For every $1 of Earned Income Tax Credit refund that comes into the local economy, it creates $1.60 in additional economic activity.

In turn, our tax site hosts provide marketing and outreach assistance, playing a key role in recruiting volunteers and informing low-income families of our services.

Thanks to our tax site hosts, we are able to provide the following opportunities to community residents:

• High-quality tax preparation
• Advice and legal representation for IRS problems
• Access to low- to no-cost bank accounts
• Assistance with the FAFSA application for federal student financial aid

We thank all of our tax site hosts for their generous support:
