For 25 years, the DC Fiscal Policy Institute (DCFPI) has helped advance policies that improve the lives of people across the District—from paid family leave to investments in early childhood and a more equitable tax system.
None of that progress happened overnight.
It took sustained research, advocacy, and commitment—people investing in the work for the long term.
