The Center for Rural Strategies has received a $100,000 award from the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Campaign Fund to convene, catalyze and amplify diverse rural voices to help build public support for the federal EITC and make the recent EITC and Child Tax Credit (CTC) expansions in the American Rescue Plan permanent. Read more about the EITC and CTC expansions in the American Rescue Plan here.
The Federal EITC Campaign Fund was established in 2020 to support work on the federal EITC and CTC, including work on tax-based benefits in the context of federal stimulus and relief packages. It is one of four funds administered by the EITC Pooled Fund.
