For more than 20 years, the National League of Cities (NLC) has supported municipal leaders in advancing their work to help more residents in their communities become more financially stable by claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) — an important financial boost for families.

In 2025, qualifying families with three or more children can receive up to $8,046 via the EITC.

Our EITC Awareness Day Toolkit for local leaders includes a draft press release, a template for emails to partners, a template for a city proclamation, and sample social media posts to raise the visibility of the EITC within your community – in preparation for EITC Awareness Day on January 31, 2025.
