Prosperity Campaign.
In 2008 the United Way of Pasco County became the lead agency for the Prosperity Campaign, a commitment to helping families become financially stable and independent.
There are two key areas that the Prosperity Campaign focuses on:
- Increasing Income
- Financial Literacy
Our goals during the United Way of Pasco County Prosperity Campaign are to:
- Place emphasis on educating the public on the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Child Tax Credit, and other available credits.
- Offer a free income tax preparation service throughout the county from mid-January through April 17, 2012.
- All of the tax returns are prepared by IRS-certified volunteers. Each year the volunteers must pass the IRS exam to renew their certification.
- Tax returns are all prepared by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, an individual simply dials 2-1-1.

The second focus is financial literacy. Many Pasco county banks, non-profits, and faith based organizations provide free or low-cost financial education programs, including our partner agency CredAbility (formerly Consumer Credit Counseling).
By encouraging residents to take advantage of these programs, United Way of Pasco County's Prosperity Campaign helps promote and increase the long-term financial stability of area residents.
