The Center for Economic Progress helps hard-working, low-income families move from financial uncertainty to financial security.

Local in service but national in voice, we achieve our mission in three ways:

- We provide trusted tax and financial counseling, giving Illinois families the tools to make sound choices.

- We lead a national coalition of organizations that promote economic progress for low-wage workers and their families.

- We advance policies and practices to create a financial system that works for all.

The Center is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
