About Us
The West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy is a policy research organization that is nonpartisan, nonprofit, and statewide.
The Center's research and analysis is designed to support informed public dialog and policy in West Virginia. The Center consults and collaborates with other organizations to ensure that its analyses are relevant and timely and strives to be a knowledgeable and respected source of credible information on public budget and fiscal issues for policymakers, advocates, media, and the public.
The Center participates in a national network of similar organizations that already exist in over half the states as part of the State Fiscal Analysis Initiative, sponsored by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, and the Economic Analysis and Research Network, an initiative of the Economic Policy Institute.
Funding for the Center comes from:
- W.K. Kellogg Foundation
- Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation
- Sisters of Saint Joseph Charitable Fund
- 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers
- Affiliated Construction Trades Foundation
