At the North Carolina Budget & Tax Center, we envision a state where every person can reach their full potential and achieve well-being through the support of trustworthy, anti-racist institutions and systems that we all participate in building. The NC Budget & Tax Center is a non-partisan organization that works to document fiscal and economic conditions in communities to support the work of people, organizations, and government to advance solutions to poverty and pursue racial equity. We offer the timely and accessible analysis you have come to expect along with an expanded emphasis on the trusting partnerships and inclusion of community expertise in our identification of the issues and solutions that we must prioritize to secure a better North Carolina.
