United Way of the Bay Area Wins Competitive IRS Grant

Earn It! Keep It! Save It! (EKS) is a United Way of the Bay Area-led coalition that coordinates over 160 free tax preparation sites serving low-to-moderate income families and individuals in the seven county Bay Area (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, Solano, San Francisco and San Mateo counties).  Since the program’s inception in 2003, it has served 114,344 individuals and families, helping them file their taxes and claim over $107,013,330 in federal refunds.  Millions of dollars have been returned to clients and the local economy as a result of the hard work and dedication of thousands of volunteers and hundreds of community based organizations. On November 10, 2008, the IRS announced a $310,000 grant to the United Way of the Bay Area to expand EKS. The Glen Price Group was delighted to support the development of this grant application.
