Indiana Fiscal Policy Institute

The Indiana Fiscal Policy Institute (ifpi) is Indiana's only independent, statewide source of ongoing research and analysis into state and local taxing and spending policies. The ifpi is privately supported by a variety of organizations, businesses, associations, and individuals in Indiana and surrounding states. Ifpi's mission is to enhance the effectiveness and accountability of state and local government through the education of policymakers, the private sector and public-at-large on critical Fiscal issues and the longer-term consequences of policies addressing them. Ifpi does not lobby, support, or oppose candidates for public office, instead relying on objective research for assessing and influencing sound Fiscal strategies.ifpi has advanced this mission by providing ongoing analysis and commentary on the Fiscal impact and implications of developments at the Indiana general assembly, communicating directly with its partners, stakeholders and elected officials, as well as working through the media (providing interviews, submitting commentaries and observations on issues of note), and giving presentations to business, civic and economic development groups across the state of Indiana.
