Stronger Futures. Stronger Long Beach. 💰✨
Financial stability is the foundation of a thriving community. Through our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, LBCAP helps local families keep more of their hard-earned money and build a secure financial path forward.
In 2025 alone, our VITA team provided free tax preparation services to 1,266 households, bringing $2.1 million directly back into local homes. Those refunds help families pay bills, save for emergencies, and invest in their futures.
When we empower families financially, our entire city prospers. This Long Beach Gives, help us keep vital programs like VITA free and accessible for our community!

What an unforgettable summer! 📸✨
Our interns stepped outside the studio to explore, practice their field photography, and capture the beauty of Long Beach from their own perspective. Hands-on moments like these gave our young creators the space to refine their craft and tell authentic stories through their own lens.
We loved watching their growth all summer long! 📷 🌿
