In the Fall of 2022, the Tax Equity Funders Network and Prosperity Now came together to pose the question: what if we could change the tax system so that families of color struggling to make ends meet could get their taxes filed with little hassle and with low to no cost? What could that world look like?

Together, we engaged field leaders and funder partners to identify innovative ideas that could help us build a more equitable tax system and a more fair economy. And recently, we published this roadmap to a fairer tax system that works for all of us. Authored by experts in the field, this innovation brief outlines innovative strategies to improve access and overhaul our tax code.
