Budget and Tax Briefing 2020 | Economic Opportunity Funders | 5 March 2020 | FHI 360, 1825 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20009, United States

The federal budget is one of the most important policy instruments of our government. It is a moral document that reflects our values and priorities through decisions on how to tax residents and businesses and spend these collective resources. These decisions impact what families have to spend on basic needs and invest in their future, define the size of the federal government and its role in the national economy, and affect the lives of all Americans.

EOF (formerly known as GIST) hosts an annual Budget and Tax Briefing to provide funders and philanthropic advisors with a unique opportunity to learn about and discuss pressing political developments, federal and state budget and tax issues, and emerging advocacy and communications strategies for protecting programs and policies that support struggling families, workers and communities.
