“In a highly polarized political environment, many people did not know whom to believe. The Tax Policy Center was there to help. The Center provides non-partisan, expert but common language analysis of the likely implications of tax policies and proposals, making it a key resource for journalists, policymakers, and citizens.” The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, in awarding the Center a 2010 MacArthur Award for Creative & Effective Institutions

Support Our Work

Tax policy matters to everyone. But tax policy debates often emphasize rhetoric over substance and fiction over fact. There's too little honest information that people can trust. 

The Tax Policy Center works to fill that gap. For nearly a decade, we have conducted independent, nonpartisan analyses of tax and budget policy issues and then shared our findings with policymakers, journalists, advocacy groups, and citizens. Our goal is simple: to ensure that everyone has access to accurate information about how our tax system works and how changes would affect taxpayers and the federal budget.

By supporting the Center, you can help inform the debate about America's fiscal future. And thanks to a recent award from the MacArthur Foundation, you can now double the impact of your donation. The Foundation will match every dollar given by new donors with an additional dollar to support the Center's activities.
