Volunteer Connection Of Central Alabama Inc.

Volunteer Connection Of Central Alabama Inc. (Volunteer Connections Of Central Alabama, Inc. Division) is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Alexander City, Alabama, that operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on tax counseling and return preparation for seniors, working exclusively with the Internal Revenue Service under the Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) program.

The organization's entire federal footprint consists of TCE cooperative agreements with the IRS. Five awards in the source data span 2021 through 2025, with the most recent grant awarded October 1, 2025, running through September 30, 2026. Under the TCE program, Volunteer Connection Of Central Alabama trains volunteers and delivers free tax counseling, assistance, and return preparation services to taxpayers age 60 or older. Grant recipients must ensure at least 65% of electronically filed returns are completed for elderly taxpayers, follow existing TCE site-operations guidance, and achieve 100% of return-production goals. The organization may utilize subrecipients to help deliver key program elements, provided they adhere to grant guidelines.

The vendor's customer base is entirely concentrated with the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service, which issued 17 of 19 total awards. Across the full historical footprint, the organization has obligated $388 thousand in combined federal dollars. Activity has been sparse and consistent — one award per year in 2021 through 2025 — with one award completing within the next twenty-four months. The organization operates as a prime recipient only; the source contains no subcontract or sub-recipient awards in the portfolio. The TCE program represents a recurring annual funding stream rather than a competitive procurement vehicle, and Volunteer Connection Of Central Alabama's participation reflects its mission alignment with IRS objectives to serve elderly taxpayers in central Alabama.
