The California Foundation for Fiscal Responsibility is a new 501(c)(4) organization committed to educating the public and key decision makers about California public employee retirement benefit issues and developing fiscally responsible solutions that are fair to employees, employers and taxpayers. CFFR believes managing the pension and retiree health care obligations promised to public employees is the most critical public finance issue of this decade.

CFFR will use a variety of forums and techniques to educate the public and decision makers, including seminars, media events, personal meetings, issue research and publications. CFFR has established an Advisory Board to help organize like-minded organizations and individuals for common action and to develop proposed solutions that have broad public support.
