NC Budget & Tax Center
U.S. center-left
NC Budget & Tax Center is an independent North Carolina nonprofit policy institute funded by foundation grants and donations, not a government agency despite its name. It analyzes state budget and tax policy through a lens focused on reducing poverty and racial inequity, placing it on the progressive end of the policy spectrum. Its work frequently critiques Republican-led state fiscal policy and, by extension, aligns it in opposition to Trump administration priorities on taxes, safety-net programs, and federal aid cuts.
