About

Mission

Through research, advocacy and strategic communications, we pursue four long-term goals for Minnesota:

• A fair tax system that raises enough revenue to sustainably fund our priorities as a state;
• Investment in public services that expand opportunity and improve the economic well-being of lower-income Minnesotans;
• Policies that help Minnesotans succeed in the workplace and the marketplace so that economic security and opportunity is available to all; and
• A sound budget process characterized by sustainable budget choices, the absence of arbitrary spending caps and formulas, and meaningful opportunities for participation.

Funders and Partnerships

We rely on the generous support from both foundation and individual donors to fulfill our strategic mission and goals, including The Bernard and Anne Spitzer Charitable Trust, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, The EITC Pooled Fund, a joint project of Economic Opportunity Funders and the EITC Funders Network, the Ford Foundation, the Kresge Foundation, the Stoneman Family Foundations, and The Minneapolis Foundation.
