Since 1994, over 16,000 Ladder Up volunteers have returned $335 million to 165,000 hardworking clients, helping them move up the economic ladder. Through our programs, TAP (Tax Assistance Program) and LIFT (Life-Improving Financial Tools), we enrich communities with practical financial solutions. Whether it’s helping clients get the tax refunds they deserve, secure the financial aid that makes higher education a reality, or gain the knowledge needed to make sound financial decisions, we provide free financial services to help families and students move towards financial stability.
