The Missouri Budget Project

Welcome to the Missouri Budget Project's website.
The Missouri Budget Project is a statewide nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that analyzes and informs the public about Missouri budgetary and fiscal policy options. The Project provides timely, accurate analysis of complex policy issues and their impact on low-income Missourians. The agency informs public debate and ensures that advocates, policy makers and the public have the information they need to create sound fiscal policies that protect the state's most vulnerable citizens.

What's New: The MBP Board of Directors is currently undertaking a strategic planning process for the organization. More information on the development of the MBP Plan will be available in the fall.
