Tax Equity Funders Network
Advancing Tax Systems That Work for All
The Tax Equity Funders Network (formerly the EITC Funders Network) brings together national, regional and local level funders working to improve equity and economic security by reducing the tax burden on lower-income workers and modernizing state and federal tax systems.
Why Equity?
