Shaping the Future Forum


The Tax Equity Funders Network and other futurists came together in Arlington, VA on April 19th 2023 to learn about significant, future focused ideas and innovations that could transform how families access tax credits and receive economic support. The meeting drew on a soon-to-be-published series of provocative briefs written by field experts that answer the question: What are innovations that would dramatically improve the ability of low- and moderate-income taxpayers to access all the tax benefits there are eligible for? This future-focused gathering included discussions with field leaders on these innovations and roundtable discussions with like-minded funders to outline action steps.
