Our Affiliates

NCTC affiliates are the lifeblood of our coalition.

They share their resources and time-saving tools, allowing us to build a strong peer-learning network.

They not only support our advocacy efforts, but they inform and guide them. Tapping their networks of influence,  they help us connect to their local elected officials, and bring our combined power to bear on the direction of policy.

They take full advantage of opportunities to share and learn best practices.

In the process, our affiliates become empowered to secure a sound financial future for America’s working families by carrying out their work at home more efficiently and more effectively.

While other programs and individuals also can participate in the Coalition as unpaid associates, our dues-paying affiliates demonstrate their commitment to the community Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) field by participating energetically in NCTC's activities.
