About the company
United Way Of Capital Area Inc., operating as United Way, is a Jackson, Mississippi-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient to operate Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites serving low-to-moderate-income taxpayers and underserved populations. The organization does not hold federal contracts and operates entirely in the grant space, with 94% of its federal awards as a prime recipient and 6% as a sub-recipient.
United Way's federal footprint centers on the Internal Revenue Service Volunteer Income Tax Assistance grant program. The organization has been a continuous VITA grant recipient since 2008, with awards dated October 1 annually from 2021 through 2025, each running a twelve-month performance period through September 30 of the following year. The most recent award began October 1, 2025 and runs through September 30, 2026. Under VITA grant requirements, United Way extends tax preparation services to hardest-to-reach urban and non-urban areas, increases electronic filing capacity, heightens quality control, enhances volunteer training, and targets beneficiaries including individuals with disabilities, those for whom English is a second language, Native Americans, rural residents, members of the Armed Forces and their families, and the elderly. Grant recipients are required to ensure at least 90% of returns prepared serve individuals at or below the earned income tax credit threshold, file all eligible returns electronically, and achieve 100% of return production goals.
United Way's customer concentration is narrow and stable. The Department of the Treasury and Internal Revenue Service account for 100% of its recent federal award footprint across 14 awards, with the IRS proper holding 8 awards. Activity has remained flat over the past five years at approximately one award annually. The organization also holds one recent sub-grant award dated January 9, 2026, as a sub-recipient under the Mississippi Department of Human Services for workforce support services. One award completes within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete. Combined dollars obligated across all sixteen awards in the source data total $2.2 million. United Way operates no parent contract vehicles, GWACs, or agency-wide IDIQs; its revenue derives entirely from direct VITA grant awards and sub-grant participation under state workforce programs.
