About TAFI

The Tennessee Alliance for Financial Independence (TAFI) is a collaboration of partners that fosters and encourages asset development and preservation programs that increase the financial stability of Tennesseans. This is accomplished through the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) outreach; coordination of local Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) free tax preparation programs; and promotion of financial literacy, savings, and other asset-building programs.

TAFI was formed in the fall of 2007 as a result of the first statewide EITC Symposium, which was funded by a grant from the Tennessee Department of Human Services.
