Your Support Makes Free Tax Help Possible

Each year, VITA volunteers give thousands of hours to help families file their taxes for free. But we could not mobilize such a powerful army of positive change makers without generous financial support from individuals, businesses and community partners through our managing sponsor, Life Transforming Ministries.

Your gift—whether through sponsorship or donation—helps hardworking households keep more of their money and access valuable financial resources.

Our 2025 Tax Season Highlights:

150+ Volunteers | 10,000+ Hours | $4.3M+ Economic Impact

We reached over 7,000 neighbors this year!

Behind the scenes, the cost of coordinating people, training, sites, and technology exceeds $200,000 annually. Since 2004, Life Transforming Ministries (LTM), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has managed the program in partnership with the IRS. We are grateful for the sustained financial leadership of United Way of Chester County, the Chester County Commissioners, and Bentley Systems.

It is Congress’ intent that the services provided through the VITA program be free to eligible individuals. Therefore, our services are—and will always remain—free to taxpayers. However, delivering this work requires significant resources.

The need continues to grow—and so does the opportunity to make a measurable difference. According to the IRS, each free return saves a filer $300 or more in preparation costs. That means a one-time gift of $300—or $25 a month—covers the equivalent of an entire return for a local household.

By joining our sponsors and supporters, your contribution will directly sustain free tax preparation services and multiply into millions of dollars in economic impact for families across our region.

Testimonials

Laurence Lucker

VITA Volunteer

"LTM's training, processes, and support structure were impressive, beyond my expectations. And the number of people I was able to help was greater than I imagined. Also, the experience was enlightening as it exposed me first hand to so many diverse situations experienced by the people within our community."

Elaine Todd

VITA Volunteer

"Even though I had concerns around my lack of specific experience, I was assured that volunteers are mentored and supported to ensure success. The recent 2024 tax season was my first experience. I found it very gratifying to help so many people and enjoyed working with the experienced volunteers at the Phoenixville site. LTM is very supportive and attracts the best kind of people."

Shaun Griffin

VITA Volunteer

"I don't really have any customer service/interaction in my current job. VITA fills that gap for me: hearing peoples' stories, seeing their situations and putting faces to numbers. I'm not handy, like I'd love to help build a house for somebody, but I don't want a lawsuit for my house falling down on somebody! With VITA, though, I know I can use my knowledge and experience to help there, and I'll continue to do so."
