Impact Summary from the Nonprofit
DABC's free tax sites were productive this year preparing 2,930 tax returns and returning over $4.5 million back to the community including saving taxpayers $585,000 in tax preparation fees and $1.5 million in the oft-unclaimed earned income tax credit. For every one of the 4,000 hours our volunteers contributed this year, $1,119 flowed back into the hands of our low-income clientele. <br /><br />Our education programs were expanded to help clients understand the rights, responsibilities, and opportunities they have with proper planning and tax return filing. <br /><br />Our complex tax return preparation program saw the creation of nearly 200 tax returns for self employed clients. Our advocacy efforts supported the clients we serve including: progress towards reestablishment of a Colorado earned income credit; passage of a statewide Payday Lending Reform measure; and easier access to stable savings instruments with the ability to purchase savings bonds directly from the tax form. <br />

Leadership Statement:
It is my honor to introduce you to Denver Asset Building Coalition. I came to DABC as a volunteer and was so inspired by the satisfaction I received seeing clients arrive with the burden of tax filing weighing on their shoulders and leave with that weight lifted after their tax return was filed by a volunteer, that I progressively escalated my involvement to my current role of ED. I continue to be inspired by our 150 volunteers who help clients file their tax return, receive a refund, save a little for the future each year and leave with the a sometimes cumbersome task completed as they plan how their refund will benefit their family this year. <br /><br />My sincere thanks go out to our volunteers for their dedication to completing the IRS certification process enabling them to accurately prepare tax returns; their persistence in supporting our tax-related programs throughout the year; and their compassion for our clients and sincere desire for clients to understand the benefits available to them through the tax filing process year after year.<br /><br />I welcome you to get to know our organization and experience just a glimpse of the satisfaction I get every day working with our clients, our volunteers and our staff.<br />Thank you, John Russell<br />
