What is the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities?
Founded in 1997, the International Project is part of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. The Center, founded in 1981 in Washington DC, examines data and conducts research on how budget and tax policies affect low- to middle-income people. For nearly two decades, the Center has produced timely analytic reports that are designed to be accessible to public officials, nonprofit organizations, and the media. In 1992, with the development of the State Fiscal Project, the Center expanded its programs to encompass both national and state-level analysis. Through this new level of work, the Center has developed expertise in helping state-based budget and tax organizations share information, and has provided technical assistance to these groups to help them increase their ability to conduct effective analysis. The foundation of both the federal and the state work is applied budget analysis. This method of work is now being advanced by the International Budget Partnership. arrow_up.
