Welcome to the Real$ense Prosperity Campaign of United Way of Northeast Florida.

Welcome to the Real$ense Northeast Florida Prosperity Campaign, a community coalition led by United Way.

Our mission is to proactively provide resources to improve the prosperity of our community’s most vulnerable and economically-challenged citizens.


Income Enhancements/EITC

The Real$ense Prosperity Campaign provides:
  • Free tax preparation by IRS-trained volunteer preparers at one of many locations in 5 counties: Clay, Duval, Nassau, Putnam, and St. Johns (find exact locations or call Untied Way 2-1-1 by dialing 2-1-1 or 1-904-632-0600). There are no fees or hidden charges. Low-to-moderate income families may be eligible for an Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) of more than $4,700!
  • Free E-filing, so that refunds can be obtained within ten business days or fewer from the filing date.





Matched Savings Accounts + IDA

With the Real$ense Prosperity Campaign, you can take advantage of these as well:
  • Free Financial Education Classes and Matched Savings Accounts to help participants better understand how to manage their money better, open or maximize bank accounts, build up a good credit rating, become first time home owners, further their education, or start their own small businesses.

Assets

With your tax refund and your new financial knowledge, you’re in a better position to catch up on bills, restore your credit, and save for your future. Set your goals and go for it!
