Citi Marks National EITC Awareness Day

Today is National EITC Awareness Day in the U.S., and in a guest post on the New America Foundation's blog The Ladder, Bob Annibale, Citi's Global Director of Community Development, focuses on ways to provide the tools and knowledge necessary for working families to achieve economic stability. From Access to Assets: The Vital Role of EITC VITA sites details on how Citi is working with nonprofit organizations across the country to increase awareness of tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) through Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites, and connecting people with comprehensive support to build financial assets.

Citi Community Development also released its second annual Money Matters publication today. This EITC awareness campaign provides valuable information in English and Spanish about the EITC and free VITA tax prep sites in 16 states. Learn more about this campaign and the importance of EITC and VITA sites in this press release and on the Citi Community Development website.
