The Minnesota Budget Project - an initiative of the Minnesota
Council of Nonprofits - is an active voice for tax fairness and
a balanced approach to the state's budget. The Minnesota Budget
Project provides independent research, analysis, and advocacy on
budget and tax issues, emphasizing their impact on low- and moderate-income
Minnesotans and the organizations that serve them. Our mission is
to provide interested citizens, elected officials, and community
leaders with timely and accurate information so that they can become
more active and effective participants in the public policy debate.
The Minnesota Budget Project is part of the State
Fiscal Analysis Initiative (SFAI). SFAI has members in 29 states
and is coordinated by the Center
on Budget and Policy Priorities. The Minnesota Budget Project
is also a member of the Economic
Analysis and Research Network (EARN), a network of
54 organizations in 39 states and is coordinated by the Economic
Policy Institute.
The work of the Minnesota Budget Project is supported by the Ford
Foundation, the Jay and Rose Phillips Family Foundation, the McKnight
Foundation, the Minneapolis Foundation, the Otto Bremer Foundation,
and the Stoneman Family Foundation. Additional support for the Minnesota
Budget Project comes from the over 1,850 member organizations of
the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits.
