Grants to this Grantee
for the Tax Law Center
Launched in January 2021, the Tax Law Center at the NYU School of Law seeks to build a stronger and more equitable tax system. Recently passed federal legislation leans heavily on tax policy to accelerate decarbonization. This grant will support the center’s efforts to inform tax policy in the public interest through rigorous, high-impact legal work. (Substrategy: U.S. National Policy)
for the Institute for Policy Integrity at NYU School of Law
The Institute for Policy Integrity at NYU School of Law uses economics and law to advance and defend policies that protect the environment, public health, and consumers. The institute’s expertise on economics and the law, combined with its academic standing, allows them to make arguments that sometimes cannot be made effectively by others. In the coming year, the institute is focused on securing effective new federal energy regulations at the Environmental Protection Agency, Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

for the Initiative for Community Power at NYU School of Law
The Initiative for Community Power at NYU is an ambitious, multifaceted project to catalyze understanding, innovation, high-impact work, and social change. The initiative combines scholarship, field-building, experiential education, academic convenings, internships, and fellowships to examine how inequality functions, is exacerbated, and can most effectively be disrupted — in our economy and democracy. The initiative is sponsored by the Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law at NYU School of Law and NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service.
