Neighborhood Improvement Association, Inc. (NIA)

The Neighborhood Improvement Association (NIA) is a community development corporation established in 1996 to promote positive change in distressed communities by improving physical, economic, and social conditions. 

The mission of NIA is to provide an avenue by which individuals can obtain the necessary capital to enhance the quality of life for themselves and their community.

Volunteers are an important part of our success in helping many families each year.

NIA partners with IRS, United Way, City of Savannah, and other local organizations to prepare FREE tax returns for the community during tax season.

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program allows individuals and families to have their taxes prepared for FREE by an IRS-certified preparer. Part of the success of the VITA program each year is due to our dedicated volunteers. Without them the program would not be able to help as many low to moderate income families each year.

If you are interested in learning how you can help us and become a certified tax volunteer, please call 912.447.5577 or email jferguson@niacdc.org for more information.
