Opportunity Summary:
The Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) grant opportunity is a discretionary federal grant program run through the U.S. Department of the Treasury to help fund organizations that provide legal help and outreach services to taxpayers with limited incomes. Under this program, selected organizations receive partial funding from the IRS in the form of a matching grant, meaning the recipient must contribute non-federal funds to match the federal award. Although LITCs work closely with tax administration issues and may represent clients in matters involving the IRS, they are not part of the IRS itself. The grant program is administered by the Taxpayer Advocate Service, which supports efforts that improve taxpayer rights awareness and access to representation for underserved communities.
The purpose of an LITC is twofold. First, clinics assist low income individuals who are involved in tax disputes with the IRS. This often includes representing taxpayers during IRS audits, helping resolve tax collection disputes, and addressing other controversies that may escalate to formal proceedings. Many clinics can represent eligible taxpayers not only before the IRS but also in court when needed. Second, some clinics focus on education and outreach for individuals who speak English as a second language (ESL), providing information about taxpayer rights and responsibilities in a way that is accessible to those who may face language barriers. Services supported through LITCs are typically provided at no cost or for a small fee, which is a core feature of the program’s access-to-justice mission.
This particular funding opportunity was posted on May 28, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 12, 2013, and an archive date of December 31, 2013. The funding opportunity number is TREAS GRANTS 052014 001, and the CFDA program number tied to it is 21.008 (Low Income Taxpayer Clinics). The award amounts ranged widely, with an award floor of 1 and an award ceiling of 100,000, reflecting that awards could be made at different levels depending on the proposed program scope, budget, and matching funds.
Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), as well as private institutions of higher education and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, reflecting that the grant is aimed at expanding access to legal assistance and legal education related to federal tax controversies and taxpayer rights. Applicants interested in the full details were directed to the full announcement (Publication 3319).
