Revenue Campaign Manager
The Commonwealth Institute for Fiscal Analysis (TCI) provides independent research and analysis of state fiscal and economic policy issues in Virginia, with a focus on how these issues affect people with low and moderate incomes in the Commonwealth. TCI's mission is to use policy research and analysis to advance the well-being of Virginia communities and improve the economic security and social opportunities of all Virginians.
TCI respects, values, and celebrates the attributes, characteristics, and perspectives that make each person unique. Bringing diverse individuals together allows TCI and allies to collectively and more effectively address the issues that face Virginia communities. TCI further recognizes that we live and work in a society that is structured by racism and white privilege, both of which adversely impact communities of color. It is one of TCI's core values that its organizational culture, staff, partners, strategies, and investments advance racial justice within and beyond the organization.
