La Posada, Inc.

La Posada, Inc., doing business as La Posada Ministry, is a non-profit organization and veteran-owned business registered to receive federal government awards since June 17, 2010. The organization primarily provides tax assistance and educational services to low-income and underserved populations through federal grant programs. As a recipient of multiple grants from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), La Posada Ministry focuses on delivering free tax preparation assistance, financial education, and tax representation services to various communities in Idaho, including rural areas, non-English speakers, Native Americans, military families, and seniors.

Through its participation in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) grant programs, La Posada Ministry offers a range of services to eligible beneficiaries. Under the VITA program, the organization extends tax preparation services to underserved populations in hard-to-reach urban and non-urban areas, increases electronic filing capacity, enhances volunteer training, and improves the accuracy of tax returns. The LITC program allows La Posada Ministry to provide tax representation before the IRS or other tribunals, conduct educational activities on tax topics, and advocate for improvements in tax administration. These services are primarily targeted at taxpayers with incomes not exceeding 250 percent of the federal poverty guidelines and those for whom English is a second language. La Posada Ministry has received multiple grants from the IRS to support these initiatives, with recent awards ranging from $132,994 to $165,119 for VITA programs and ongoing funding for LITC services. The organization may also utilize subrecipients to help deliver key elements of these programs, subject to approval and adherence to grant guidelines.
