Notice of Funding Availability: 2025 CalEITC+ Education and Outreach Grant
The California Department of Community Services and Development (CSD), in partnership with the Franchise Tax Board, has released a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the 2025 California Earned Income Tax Credit Plus (CalEITC+) Education and Outreach Grant.
The purpose of this NOFA is to inform interested parties of the availability of funding to conduct education and outreach activities to increase the number of eligible low-income Californians who file their income tax return and claim the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) and other available tax credits for the 2025 tax filing season. Awardees will conduct education and outreach activities to increase awareness of and participation in the CalEITC and the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, with a focus on outreach efforts to individuals who file tax returns using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
CSD seeks to engage established organizations that maintain an existing community presence, have established trusted relationships, demonstrate extensive experience conducting similar outreach campaigns, and regularly interact with culturally diverse and hard-to-reach populations.
All NOFA supplementary documents can be downloaded from the Bidder’s Library.
A virtual Bidder's Conference will be held on August 20, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time (PT) to address questions about the NOFA.
Please register to attend at https://csd-ca.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/0gqM-xRbR8a6LcD1bcYTEQ. Registration is required.
The deadline to submit applications via email is Friday, September 5, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. PT.
