MINNESOTA COUNCIL OF NONPROFITS HOME

The Minnesota Budget Project is an initiative of the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits.

The Minnesota Budget Project prepares research and analysis to inform the public debate about tax and budget decisions that impact low- and moderate-income Minnesotans. 

Publications are organized into four issue areas: Minnesota Budget, Minnesota Taxes, Federal Tax and Budget Issues, and Economic Self-Sufficiency.  A range of issues are covered in the periodical Minnesota Budget Bites.

The Minnesota Budget Information page contains publications to help you understand budget decisions and how they affect low-income Minnesotans.  Publications include analysis of the use of the state's surpluses, comparison of various budget-balancing plans, capital budgets, and overviews of the state's fiscal forecasts.

Minnesota Tax Information contains analysis of the tax decisions of the Minnesota Legislature, and particularly the impact these decisions have on tax fairness.  This section includes analysis of recent tax legislation, tax burdens, tax credits for low-income families, and tax reform.

Federal Tax and Budget Information publications describe the impact on Minnesota of federal tax and budget decisions, such as federal economic stimulus plans and the repeal of the estate tax.

Economic Self-Sufficiency Information covers issues including the minimum wage, workforce issues, poverty despite work, and income inequality.  This section also includes fact sheets on programs serving struggling families, including Unemployment Insurance, the Minnesota Family Investment Program, and child care.

Minnesota Budget Bites is a periodical publication that contains commentary on current fiscal policy issues, fact sheets, and research reviews.  Minnesota Budget Bites articles often provide a snapshot of longer research pieces.  All issues of Minnesota Budget Bites are listed on the Minnesota Budget Bites page, and articles are also cross-referenced on the relevant issue pages.
