Arkansas Asset Builders is a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program partner, providing free, volunteer-prepared tax preparation to individuals and families with annual incomes up to $60,000. Tax refunds that include the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC) are an important resource for hard-working families, helping them to get ahead financially, pay down debt and work toward saving for the future.

At VITA sites, IRS-trained and certified volunteers prepare and electronically file state and federal income tax forms at no charge and determine a taxpayer’s qualifications for tax credits and refunds. We help our clients avoid predatory fees and financial products offered by the for-profit tax preparation industry that target low-income households with the largest tax refunds.

Since 2017, Arkansas Asset Builders’ volunteers have prepared over 2,480 tax returns, saving our clients $590,000 in avoided tax preparation fees and returning more than $2.3 million in federal tax refunds to our community. Sign up to be a VITA volunteer and put more tax refund money in the pockets of hard-working Arkansans!

Help researchers unlock data through Zooniverse.org, the world’s largest platform for people-powered research, with over 2.5 million people worldwide participating in over 90 active projects, from classifying galaxies, marking cells for cancer research, transcribing historic handwritten documents, and more.

During this 60-minute virtual engagement session you will participate in PenguinWatch.org, helping researchers tag penguins in drone images to understand the impact of climate change on this charismatic species and the health of our oceans.
