Creating Assets, Savings and Hope (CA$H)
CA$H is a community-based partnership aimed at helping working individuals and families plan for their financial health.
CA$H provides trained volunteers to help individuals and families prepare their taxes for free during tax season. CA$H also assists individuals in applying for the Earned Income Tax Credit when possible and connects participants with resources to manage, budget and leverage their money to achieve goals such as buying a house, going back to school, starting a small business or even creating an emergency fund.

Did you know...
Many individuals are subject to tax filing fees and refund anticipation loans sold to them by private, for-profit businesses. Eligible wage earners can avoid these fees and loans by visiting CA$H tax preparation sites throughout greater Portland during tax season. The sites and services, including education on assets building, are free, quick and an efficient alternative to paid preparers.
