The EITC Pooled Fund has made two new awards to state organizations working to help build public support for state EITCs, CTCs, and other tax credits in 2025.
- Maine Center for Economic Policy was awarded $70,000 to expand the state child tax credit, increase uptake of existing refundable credits, secure funding for two statewide direct cash pilot programs, and continue to advocate for guaranteed income.
- Oregon Center for Public Policy was awarded $70,000 to strengthen the state EITC, increase uptake of existing tax credits, and promote Direct File.
Economic Opportunity Funders and the Tax Equity Funders Network administer and oversee the State EITC Rapid Response, Campaign, and Policy Development Fund and the Federal EITC Campaign Fund to advance tax fairness and economic opportunity for low-income workers and families through the promotion, protection and expansion of the federal and state EITCs. The four funds – together known as the EITC Pooled Fund – are guided by an advisory group, supported by three national funders and administered in partnership with the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and The Hatcher Group.
