NC Budget & Tax Center
U.S. left/progressive
The NC Budget & Tax Center is an independent North Carolina nonprofit that analyzes state and federal fiscal policy, with a focus on tax fairness, public investment, and reducing poverty. Though it calls itself nonpartisan, its policy positions — opposing corporate and upper-income tax cuts and advocating for expanded social spending — align with progressive economic priorities. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term has been consistently critical, especially regarding federal Medicaid and SNAP cuts.
Owned byIndependent 501(c)(3) nonprofit governed by a board of directors; no corporate or individual owner. Became fully independent from the North Carolina Justice Center in January 2022.
