Poway Valley Senior Citizens Corporation

Poway Valley Senior Citizens Corporation, doing business as Poway Valley Senior Citizens, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Poway, California, that serves as a prime recipient of federal grants for tax counseling and return preparation services to elderly taxpayers. The organization operates exclusively under the Internal Revenue Service's Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) program, CFDA 21.006, and has received five consecutive annual cooperative-agreement grants from October 2021 through October 2025, with ultimate completion dates running annually through September 2026.

The TCE program funds Poway Valley Senior Citizens to train and provide technical assistance to volunteers and deliver free tax counseling and return-preparation services to persons 60 years of age or older in its service area. Grant recipients under TCE are expected to ensure at least 65% of electronically filed returns are completed for taxpayers 60 or older, follow existing TCE site-operation guidance, and achieve 100% of their return-production goals. Subrecipients may be utilized to help deliver key program elements while adhering to TCE grant guidelines.

The organization's federal footprint is narrow and specialized — all five awards derive from the Internal Revenue Service, with total dollars obligated across all grants at $82 thousand over the five-year period. One award (the October 2025 cooperative agreement) carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months (September 2026), representing a potential recompete point. Activity has remained flat at one award per year, reflecting the cyclical structure of the TCE annual grant cycle. Poway Valley Senior Citizens operates as a 100% prime recipient with no subcontractor role across its federal portfolio.
