Are you a nonprofit organization operating an IRS-sponsored Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program? The ABC Initiative (Asset Building for Children), led by Prosperity Now and supported by the Citi Foundation, is offering implementation grants ranging from $25,000 to $150,000 to help organizations integrate child savings education and support into tax-time services.
