The Southern California War Tax Alternative Fund (SCWTAF) is made up of money not paid as taxes by people who have not paid part or all of our federal income and/or telephone excise taxes as a expression of our belief that since we are working for peace we should try not to pay for war. The Alternative Fund serves in the following ways: A Holding Account for Unpaid Taxes: The money may be recovered from the Fund by the war tax refuser, either if she/he experiences a wage, fund, or property seizure by the Internal Revenue Service or for any other reason. Distribution of Interest on the SCWTAF: Depositors make a positive statement that we favor funding real human needs and refuse to support warfare and destruction, by donating the interest generated by the Fund. SCWTAF is held in banks serving underfunded communities; the interest received is given to groups and programs serving peace and justice. Grantees are selected by Fund depositors. Confirmation of Sincerity: Many Fund members inform the public and/or the IRS that they are willing to pay their refused tax money to constructive purposes, but not to war or preparation for war. For them, depositing the "war tax" in the Alternative Fund demonstrates that they are motivated by a conscientious opposition to war, and are engaged in war tax resistance, not tax avoidance. The WTAF is under the direction of its member-depositors. Participation in the Fund is an ongoing statement of commitment to build a peaceful and just society. The Fund was founded in 1979, and now holds $49,000 from 35 war tax refusers. As of 2007, the Fund has granted $60,000 to local and international projects and organizations.
