Federal Grant Award Summary

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) awarded The Tax Cure and Relief Foundation, Inc. a Project Grant of $219,803 under the Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) program (CFDA 21.008) for the period January 1 – December 31, 2026. The award provides financial assistance to deliver tax representation, education, and advocacy services to low-income taxpayers and English as a Second Language (ESL) taxpayers in Georgia. Under this grant, the recipient organization will represent low-income taxpayers (with incomes not exceeding 250 percent of federal poverty guidelines) in controversies with the IRS, conduct educational activities on tax topics and taxpayer rights, and advocate for improvements to tax administration that benefit eligible populations.

The grant recipients are expected to open and work previously opened representation cases, consult with taxpayers on specific tax issues, conduct educational activities, and contribute to improvements in tax administration through advocacy for changes to IRS procedures. The LITC program serves as a matching grant mechanism through which the IRS supports qualified organizations, including clinical programs at accredited educational institutions and tax-exempt organizations under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(a), in providing these essential services at nominal or no cost to vulnerable populations.
