Email your legislators to approve full VITA funding for 2021. No images? Click here   Let's Get VITA Fully Funded in 2021! Last week, the Senate Appropriations Committee released its draft 2021 spending bill, which calls for $30 million in funding for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. This amount represents the max funding allowed under the VITA Permanence Act and delivers a huge victory for VITA advocates across the country! In addition, earlier this year, the House approved a $28 million funding proposal for VITA in 2021. While this is great news, and a critical step in the funding process for next year, we can’t stop until the $30 million proposal is passed in both chambers. Please take a moment to contact your Representative and Senators and let them know how much this program means to your community and urge them to support VITA at $30 million in the final FY21 budget.  Take Action - Email Your Legislators We know how important the VITA program is to you and the millions of Americans who depend on free and quality tax preparation. We will keep you updated as the FY21 budget process continues, and let you know additional actions you can take to ensure VITA is fully funded next year. Thank you for making your voice heard on this important issue and for everything that you do on behalf of low- and moderate-income Americans across the country. For additional questions about VITA or our tax priorities, please email Joanna Ain at ja...@prosperitynow.org.      1200 G Street NW, Suite 400, Washington, DC 20005 HOME | BLOG | ABOUT Copyright © 2017, Prosperity Now, All rights reserved.   Unsubscribe
