About the NC EITC Outreach Campaign:
Recognizing that the EITC can lift many hard-working families out of poverty and bring money into local economies, in 2007 state leaders passed legislation to support a range of strategies to ensure that North Carolina workers and communities benefit fully from the credit. These include increasing awareness of the EITC, supporting and expanding free tax preparation services, and enacting a NC EITC which currently stands at 5% of the federal credit.

Following passage of this legislation, a NC EITC Outreach Working Group was convened by then-State Senator Janet Cowell, now State Treasurer. We would like to thank the General Assembly for their leadership on this important issue, especially as a growing number of individuals and families face hardship due to the downturn in the economy.

The following organizations and agencies have contributed their time and expertise to the Working Group:
