Thanks to you, we are already at [% participation] and [total giving]. Remember, our goal is to achieve a team-wide participation rate of [participation goal] and combined giving total of at least [total giving goal].As you consider your ability to give charitably this year, remember that you are doing more than just helping to raise funds. You are making a real, life-changing impact on someone’s life. Take, for example, the work of Mesa United Way’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program:Mesa United Way has operated this local VITA service for more than a decade. In the 2019 tax year, they trained 150 volunteers to become IRS-certified tax preparers and filed 5,583 tax returns for low-income households in Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert. Together, they helped return $6.5 million in tax returns to individuals and families who otherwise may not have been able to pay for food, rent, childcare, or other basic needs. VITA success story: Patricia A. had filed 3 years of taxes by herself.?She had reported her Social Security income as wages which resulted in owing income taxes to both the IRS and State of Arizona.?The state had started to take money from her every month as payback on the invalid amount owed.??She came to the Mesa United Way summer VITA program where we helped correct the previous 3 years of taxes.?She no longer owes any money to the IRS, was paid back in full for the incorrect payments she already made, and will even receive $75 from the State of Arizona - all free of cost.Stories like this show what a difference your generosity can make in our community.
