Impact America

Impact America, doing business as Impact Alabama, is a non-profit organization based in Birmingham, Alabama, that focuses on delivering critical community services through targeted volunteer and grant-based initiatives. Registered in SAM.gov since 2005, the organization has established itself as a significant provider of volunteer-driven social services, particularly in the areas of economic opportunity and health services across multiple southeastern states. The organization primarily receives federal grant awards that support community-focused programs designed to assist underserved populations through innovative service delivery models.

Impact America's federal grant portfolio is predominantly comprised of Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Matching Grant awards from the Internal Revenue Service and AmeriCorps grants from the Office of Grants Management. These grants enable the organization to deploy AmeriCorps members across Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee to provide free tax preparation services for low-income households and conduct vision screenings for young children. In recent years, Impact America has received consecutive annual VITA grants totaling between $450,000 and $564,035, focusing on extending services to populations including low-to-moderate income individuals, persons with disabilities, English language learners, Native Americans, rural residents, military families, and the elderly. The organization also leverages sub-grant partnerships with entities like United Way Association of South Carolina and Volunteer Tennessee to expand its service reach, with recent sub-awards supporting state-specific AmeriCorps initiatives that include vision screening and tax preparation services.
