Grant for hosting free tax clinics

The Minister of National Revenue has announced that the Canada Revenue Agency will continue to invest in free tax clinics by extending the grant pilot project for a fourth year, with funding up to $5.9 million. Through the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP), community organizations host free tax clinics where volunteers complete tax returns for people with a modest income and a simple tax situation.

This year, the online application is open from May 1 to June 30. Your organization is invited to apply annually, each year of the pilot, during the grant application period.

The CRA provides funding to grant applications on a first come, first served basis, with funding allocated proportionately across Canada.
