About the company
United Way Of The Greater Capital Region, Inc. is a nonprofit organization based in Albany, New York that acts as a prime recipient of federal grants for volunteer income tax assistance and community development programs, with no federal contract work. The organization operates entirely as a grant recipient with no federal contracts, IDVs, or subcontractor engagements across its federal footprint.
United Way's federal grant activity centers on the Internal Revenue Service Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Matching Grant Program (CFDA 21.009), which accounts for the majority of recent awards. Under VITA, the organization delivers free tax return preparation and electronic filing services to low- to moderate-income populations, including persons with disabilities, non-native English speakers, Native Americans, rural residents, military personnel and their families, and elderly taxpayers in the New York service area. VITA is a matching grant program requiring the recipient to provide non-federal matching funds equal to the federal award amount. Representative VITA awards include a $164,310 grant effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026; a prior-year award effective October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025; and earlier annual grants dating to at least 2021. United Way is expected to achieve 100% of return production goals, ensure at least 90% of prepared returns serve individuals whose earned income does not exceed Earned Income Tax Credit thresholds, file all eligible returns electronically, and demonstrate incremental increases in return preparation efficiency and reach annually. The organization may engage subrecipients to help deliver key program elements while maintaining adherence to all VITA grant program guidelines.
Beyond VITA, United Way received a Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development effective February 17, 2023, through August 31, 2030, supporting economic development and community planning initiatives. The organization also has prior activity with the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families and the Corporation for National and Community Service.
Customer concentration is heavy on the Treasury Department's Internal Revenue Service, which accounts for 10 awards across the federal footprint. The Internal Revenue Service and broader Treasury Department combined represent 16 of 19 total awards. Activity has been episodic—one award per year in 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025, with two awards in 2023—and only one award is scheduled to reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure.
