About the company
United Way Of Lancaster County (doing business as United Way) is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania that operates as a federal grant recipient, delivering Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) services and community information and referral tracking to low-to-moderate income and underserved populations across Pennsylvania.
United Way's federal footprint centers almost entirely on the Internal Revenue Service's VITA Matching Grant Program (CFDA 21.009), through which the organization receives recurring annual project grants to expand free tax return preparation and electronic filing capacity for eligible taxpayers, with particular emphasis on persons with disabilities, individuals with limited English proficiency, Native Americans, rural residents, military families, and elderly taxpayers. The organization has held VITA grants consistently since at least 2021, most recently receiving a $208,000 VITA project grant covering October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, with prior awards in 2024 ($208,000), 2023, 2022, and 2021. Grant requirements mandate that at least 90 percent of prepared returns serve taxpayers whose earned income does not exceed EITC thresholds, that all eligible returns be filed electronically, and that the organization demonstrate year-over-year incremental growth in return preparation volumes while maintaining quality control and volunteer training standards.
The organization also received a project grant from the Office of Planning Research and Evaluation for community information and referral tracking software, running August 31, 2023 through August 30, 2025. As a subrecipient, United Way operates under awards from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services for the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program, delivering evidence-based home visiting services to eligible families; sub-awards on this program were issued in February 2022, September 2022, and September 2023.
United Way's customer base concentrates heavily with the Department of the Treasury's Internal Revenue Service (8 awards from IRS directly) and broader Treasury (5 awards), accounting for 65 percent of the 20 total awards in the source data. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families and Health Resources and Services Administration collectively account for 6 awards. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $7.8 million. Activity has been episodic, with one award in 2024 and one in 2025 following a cluster of three awards each in 2022 and 2023. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete cliff exposure in the near term. United Way does not hold federal contracts or IDVs and operates exclusively in the grants space.
