Millions of new dollars to the local economy

Improve your employees’ quality of life and the Hillsborough and Pinellas economy by helping eligible employees get access to financial education, receive free tax preparation, and claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).

Promoting economic opportunity and financial education

The Prosperity Campaign of Hillsborough & Pinellas Counties helps to improve individual quality of life and the local economy by bringing in and circulating more money into the community through the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Established in 2004, the Prosperity Campaign is a collaboration of the public sector, private business, and nonprofit organizations providing:

• Outreach and public awareness to increase the number of families who know about and claim EITC, Child Tax Credit, and other credits.

• Free quality tax preparation and e-file to lessen the financial burden of tax preparation and refund loan fees related to commercial filing.

• Programs that help families through financial education, savings, and investment of the tax refund.

Here’s how employers can help:

• Distribute EITC information to all employees through free Prosperity Campaign payroll inserts, flyers, and posters.

• Invite a Prosperity Campaign representative to speak with your human resources director or attend a staff meeting to explain who is eligible for EITC and where they can receive free assistance in filing their taxes.

• Ask your business associates and employees to become a Prosperity Campaign volunteer during the tax season.

• Donate computer equipment such as laptops and printers for use in the Prosperity Campaign’s free tax preparation program.

Here’s how employees can benefit:

• Free quality tax preparation to ensure EITC eligibility.

• Assurance that a Child Tax Credit of $1,000 per child is correctly claimed.

• Fast refunds with no preparation or refund loan fees.

• Access to financial education.
