Funded by / Ownership
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Center is supported by several foundations, including the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and the Ford Foundation and individual donors. The Atlantic Philanthropies is a major donor to CBPP, as is George Soros.
Analysis / Bias
The CBPP publishes news and research on budgets and finance by the United States Government. While carrying an inherent left bias, the articles on the site are highly factual, well-sourced, and carry a minimum of biased wording. CBPP states that they are nonpartisan and carry through on that in their reporting. However, the inherent left bias in their goals and the economic policies they advocate for earns them a left-center rating. The information is factual and well-sourced.
