Become a Community Grant Reviewer

field_block:node:page:body

The Minnesota Department of Revenue administers two grants available to eligible organizations who:

Coordinate, facilitate, encourage, and aid in the provision of taxpayer assistance services to Minnesotans who are low-income, elderly, and disadvantaged
Publicize and promote the availability of eligible Minnesota tax credits to taxpayers likely to be eligible for credits targeting low-income taxpayers, including but not limited to:
- Child Tax Credit
- Working Family Credit
- K-12 Education Credit
- Renter’s Income Tax Credit
- Homestead Credit Refund (for Homeowners)

We are forming two diverse teams of community grant reviewers to evaluate grant applications.

The grant review process is a valuable volunteer experience and an excellent opportunity to develop professional skills. As a community grant reviewer, you will serve your community and learn about organizations who provide much-needed taxpayer assistance services or promote the availability of eligible Minnesota tax credits.

Conflict of Interest [+]

You may not participate in the review process if there is a conflict of interest.

A conflict of interest is any situation in which your judgement, actions, or non-action may, might, or could be interpreted to be influenced by something that would benefit you or your organization. The situation may exist directly (when you or your organization gain something) or indirectly (when a friend, relative, or acquaintance receives something). Conflicts of interest may be actual or potential, or may appear as such.

You may not serve as a reviewer if you have any other biases that may hinder your ability to fairly and objectively rate an applicant’s proposal.

You must sign an agreement indicating you do not have a conflict of interest. If, while reviewing applications, you discover you have a conflict of interest as a reviewer, you must notify Revenue’s grant coordinator immediately.
