About this grant
This is one of ten grants recommended to state organizations participating in the State Fiscal Analysis Initiative. The Ford, Casey, and Mott foundations created the initiative in 1992 in order to build state capacity for timely, credible, and accessible tax and budget analysis on behalf of low- and moderate-income families. The Michigan League for Public Policy joined the initiative in 1994. During the renewal grant period, the grantee will produce and disseminate analyses across a range of state fiscal and economic policies, with a particular emphasis on how such policies impact low- and moderate-income households. Mott funding will also support strategic communications and coalition building activities. Related to this project is a grant to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which analyzes federal budget and tax policy issues and provides technical assistance to all the state organizations participating in this initiative.
