More About the Community Tax Program
Alternatives' Community Tax Program has been offering free tax preparation services since 2003.  To date we've prepared over 10,000 tax returns for working families and individuals and returned over $18 million in refunds to our local community.

Our goal is to help all eligible workers claim the credits they deserve (without paying high fees) and to help them turn those refunds into financial assets.

You can learn more about getting free tax assistance or volunteering from our website, or call 216-3459 for more information.

To help us spread the word, see our outreach page.

The Credit Path

As Alternatives Credit Union has grown and changed, our use of the Credit Path model of financial empowerment has changed as well. Originally developed by Bill Myers as a way of understanding our members' financial situations and incorporating that into our business planning, the Credit Path describes where people are situated at various points along a continuum between poverty and self-sufficiency. Our job, as a community development financial institution, is to help our members move along that continuum by empowering them to make decisions, and offering opportunities, that will move them towards financial self-sufficiency. more»
