About the company
Gecu Foundation, a minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned nonprofit foundation and community development corporation based in El Paso, Texas, serves as a federal grant recipient delivering Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) services to underserved and low- to moderate-income populations under the Internal Revenue Service's VITA Matching Grant Program (CFDA 21.009). The foundation operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no federal contracts or subcontract work in the source record.
Gecu Foundation's federal footprint consists entirely of recurring annual VITA grants from the Internal Revenue Service, with five project grants spanning from October 2021 through September 2026. The foundation's scope includes free tax return preparation and electronic filing services targeting vulnerable populations including individuals with disabilities, non-native English speakers, Native Americans, rural residents, military members and their families, and elderly taxpayers whose earned income does not exceed Earned Income Tax Credit thresholds. Grant funding supports volunteer training enhancement, quality control strengthening, electronic filing capacity expansion, and return preparation accuracy improvement. Gecu Foundation must ensure at least 90 percent of prepared returns serve eligible low- to moderate-income individuals, file all eligible returns electronically, and achieve 100 percent of annual return production goals. The foundation may utilize subrecipients to deliver key program elements while maintaining compliance with VITA grant program guidelines.
Recent award history shows a stable annual cadence: one project grant awarded October 1, 2025, for $330,000 (program year through September 30, 2026); one prior grant in 2024; and earlier grants in 2022 and 2021. Combined dollars obligated across all five awards total $2.9 million. The Internal Revenue Service is the sole funding agency across the entire award portfolio. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete exposure in that window.
