About the company
Dreams For Change Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit based in San Diego, California, is a prime recipient of federal grants from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and a sub-recipient on Community Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) grants, serving low-income and limited-English proficiency populations in underserved areas. The organization operates exclusively within the VITA grant program, which the IRS administers as a matching-grant initiative to expand tax preparation services for eligible low- and moderate-income taxpayers, individuals with disabilities, non-English speakers, Native Americans, rural residents, military families, and elderly individuals.
Dreams For Change holds four prime VITA grants from the IRS with successive annual award dates spanning October 2022 through October 2025, each running a twelve-month project period. As a prime recipient, the organization extends services to underserved populations in both urban and non-urban areas, increases electronic filing capacity, enhances volunteer training, and improves return preparation accuracy. The organization also functions as a sub-recipient under a VITA grant administered by United Way of San Diego County, awarded November 2025, where Dreams For Change operates tax preparation sites and mobile tax sites throughout San Diego County. In that role, the organization targets low-income and limited-English proficiency residents, consistent with its primary VITA mission. All seven IRS awards (both prime and sub-recipient work) account for 88% of tracked awards in the portfolio. Combined federal dollars obligated across all eight awards total $851 thousand. Activity remains modest and steady, with one to two awards per year across the five-year lookback, and no recompete cliff exposure is indicated in the near term.
