About The TTARA Research Foundation
About Us
The TTARA Research Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides nonpartisan, data-driven insights that inform sound fiscal policy in Texas. Our research supports a transparent and sustainable approach to fiscal policy and governance that affects all Texans.
The Foundation also gathers leading thought and identifies best practices across the state and the nation that could improve the tax climate and promote fiscal responsibility in Texas.
Our History
Originally formed as the Texas Research League in 1950, the Foundation was created to address a pressing need for independent, factual analysis of the state’s complex tax and budget systems—a need that is even more urgent today.
The Texas Research League was renamed the TTARA Research Foundation in 1995.
Our Mission & Vision
Our mission is to advance nonpartisan research and education on tax and fiscal policy, equipping decision-makers with the tools they need to support a strong Texas economy and responsible governance. Our vision is to be the most trusted source for objective research and education on Texas tax and fiscal policy.
