Overview

Mission

Help working families and individuals improve their financial well-being by providing free tax preparation services incorporated with resource building and asset development in the city of Vancouver and Clark County, Washington.

What it reported doing in 2025

Free personal income tax assistance: In 2025, over 1,800 families and individuals in Southwest Washington benefited from the program. The resulting refunds injected over 2.2 million dollars directly into the lives of hardworking families and individuals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
