Minnesota Foundation for Fiscal Excellence

“You are lucky to have this organization here, you really are.”

Help Us Make Fiscal Excellence the Foundation of Minnesota State and Local Government

The bedrock of "good government" is transparency, evidence-based policy, and a commitment to time-tested principles of sound public finance and taxation.   Charitable contributions to our supporting arm, the Minnesota Foundation for Fiscal Excellence, advances these goals through a wide variety of policy research and public education projects made possible with your support:

• Benchmarking Investigations -- award-winning, nationally-acclaimed comparison studies on government taxes and spending
• Policy Analysis -- issue briefs and reports informing government tax and spending debates in the news
• Public Education -- educational guides for citizens on tax and spending issues to improve their understanding of, and participation in, Minnesota government

Our mission is to ensure a sound tax system and public services that deliver maximum value and returns to taxpayers, to support policy-making informed by credible research and analysis, and to ensure Minnesota's legacy of good government continues into the future. 

Thank you for making a contribution today!
