Overview
The State EITC Rapid Response Fund (EITC RRF) was established in 2012 as an invitation only fund and focuses on quick infusions of support to help an existing effort overcome a campaign or communications challenge or opportunity. Awards are made on a rolling basis and range from $15,000-$50,000. The RRF is guided by an advisory group and administered by EOF and the EITC Funders Network in partnership with the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and The Hatcher Group.
