Free Tax Help 
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) is a free program staffed by IRS-certified volunteers and offers tax preparation to qualifying individuals and families. Volunteers ensure that taxpayers are aware of various incentives such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child Tax Credit, and Credit for the Elderly or Disabled.

This year, The Prosperity Center has helped more than 500 local families file their tax returns for free. United Way's AmeriCorps member, Taylor Liddiard (pictured), is dedicated to the success of these programs, especially VITA. Liddiard believes that these projects are instrumental in making Frederick a better place, saying, "United Way is confident that local dollars create local solutions, and using these resources to bring thousands of dollars back to Frederick families is a great step to take."


Wells Fargo Lives United


Wells Fargo takes advantage of its expertise in finance to facilitate community growth and education by providing trainings, financial education, and grants to the Frederick community. In 2014, $11,444 was raised by Wells Fargo during employee sponsored events including an indoor yard sale, basket auction, and bake sale. All of the funds were raised for United Way's programs and regional nonprofits.
Wells Fargo gives $275.5 million to 18,500 nonprofits annually. In 2013, Wells Fargo employees committed 1.69 million hours to volunteer service.

Furthermore, United Way Worldwide has recognized Wells Fargo & Company for leading the largest workplace giving campaign in the U.S. in 2014, marking the sixth consecutive time Wells Fargo has earned the honor. During the company's month-long Community Support and United Way giving campaign, Wells Fargo team members pledged $70.5 million, a 9 percent increase from 2013, and the 12th consecutive year-over-year increase.
