MBPC has a special focus on State-Tribal Policy to promote sound fiscal and budget policy that can help reverse the history of economic injustice that has led many American Indians to unacceptable levels of poverty, unemployment, and poor health. We do research on health care, education, and economic development in Indian Country to increase state investment. Our work aims to inform policymakers on how tax and budget choices affect Indian Country, to increase involvement of American Indian leaders in budget advocacy, and reduce inequality across the state.
MBPC is a nonprofit organization focused on providing credible and timely research and analysis on budget, tax, and economic issues that impact low- and moderate-income Montana families.
