Louisiana Budget Project

The Louisiana Budget Project (LBP) is a non-profit organization based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The organization, founded in 2006, is part of a national network and employs three people. LBP focuses on monitoring state government spending and its impact on low- to moderate-income families in Louisiana. They provide research and analysis of the state budget, aiming to educate citizens about its implications and encourage their engagement in budget-related policy discussions. The organization also seeks to provide leadership and insight to shape the policy debate surrounding state finances. A central mission of LBP is to create a deeper understanding of the state budget and its impact on citizens. They analyze the budget holistically, examining how different spending decisions affect various segments of the population. LBP believes that informed citizens can drive positive change in public policy by advocating for their priorities. To learn more about LBP and their work, visit their website at labudget.org.
