Help Us Provide Free Tax Preparation for 100 Immigrant Families
We are raising $23,500 to provide free tax preparation services for 100 low-income immigrant families.
For many families, professional tax preparation is expensive and often out of reach. Our organization is committed to making these services accessible — completely free of charge — through our community programs.
💡 The average cost of preparing one tax return is $235.
By reaching our goal, we will be able to serve 100 families who need this support the most.
📅 Our goal is to raise the full amount by February 1, 2027.
Your donation will help:
- Provide free, accurate tax preparation
- Support immigrant families in navigating the U.S. tax system
- Promote financial literacy and long-term financial stability
Every contribution matters:
- $235 = 1 family served
- $470 = 2 families
- $1,175 = 5 families
Together, we can remove financial barriers and make essential tax services accessible to those who need them most.
🙏 Thank you for your support!
