Founded in 2007, the West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy is an independent, nonprofit policy research organization dedicated to advancing policies and budgets that improve the economic mobility and quality of life for all West Virginians.
The WVCBP is thankful to receive funding from national, regional, and state foundations, as well as labor organizations and individual donors. Please read our 2022 Annual Report for more information including our work over the last year, a financial statement, and a list of our most recent funders.
The WVCBP’s research and analysis is designed to support informed public dialogue 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.
We participate in a national network of similar organizations across more than 40 states as part of the State Priorities Partnership, sponsored by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, as well as the Economic Analysis and Research Network, an initiative of the Economic Policy Institute.
We also serve as West Virginia’s KIDS COUNT partner. KIDS COUNT is a platform of the Annie E. Casey Foundation that provides legislators, public officials, and child advocates with reliable data, policy recommendations, and tools to advance policies that benefit children and youth.
