The Colorado Fiscal Policy Institute (COFPI), formerly the Colorado Fiscal Project, founded in 1996 as an all volunteer coalition of community-based organizations, individuals, advocates, educators and nonprofits. In 1999, with funding from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and the Open Society Institute, COFPI became a permanent project of the Colorado Center on Law and Policy.
Since its inception, COFPI has worked toward the development of adequate and fair fiscal policies that will benefit all Coloradans, especially low and moderate income populations. Through education, fiscal and policy analysis, and collaboration, COFPI informs policymakers, the media and the public about the importance of a fair and equitable state fiscal system.
Whether by teaching lawmakers about the effectiveness of the Earned Income Tax Credit as a way to lift people out of poverty, educating women leaving welfare and employers about what it really takes to be self-sufficient in our state, working with state officials to improve budget processes and enhance accountability, conducting research on tax, budget and other fiscal issues, or helping advocates and citizens more effectively participate in the policy process, COFPI employs data driven advocacy to protect and enhance the rights of the more than 750,000 low-income people across Colorado.
