The Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) is a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit think tank (501(c)(3) public policy organization) dedicated to promoting bipartisanship and developing pragmatic, evidence-based solutions to national challenges. Founded in 2007 by former Senate Majority Leaders Howard Baker, Tom Daschle, Bob Dole, and George J. Mitchell, the organization traces its roots to 2002 with the establishment of the National Commission on Energy Policy, which evolved into BPC's Energy Project. BPC focuses on key policy areas including fiscal responsibility, economic policy, energy, health, national security, and infrastructure, producing reports, recommendations, and legislative proposals. Under CEO Margaret Spellings and a board featuring prominent figures like Senators Roy Blunt, Val Demings, and Olympia Snowe, BPC employs a collaborative methodology convening experts from both parties. The organization reported revenue of $31,165,990 and expenses of $36,412,895 in 2023, with funding from foundations, corporations, and individuals. BPC maintains transparency through annual reports and operates an affiliated 501(c)(4) arm, BPC Action, for advocacy and influencing elections. The organization has contributed to 17 pieces of legislation in the 118th Congress and has built a reputation for impactful, durable policymaking on issues like the federal debt limit, voter list maintenance, congressional reform, and economic innovation.
