We’re an employee-owned research and data analytics consultancy driven by a mission to improve public well-being. Our experts innovate at the intersection of data science, social science, and technology to translate big questions into deep insights.
Collaborating closely with decision makers and changemakers, we’re reimagining the way the world collects, analyzes, and applies data to address urgent challenges.
Employee-owned and mission-driven, Mathematica works with government agencies, private-sector organizations, foundations, and businesses providing health care and other human services. Organizations around the world committed to the public good rely on us to help improve programs, refine strategies, and deepen understanding.
Mathematica’s mission is to improve public well-being by using data and evidence that meet the highest quality standards. Together with our partners, we’re working to improve outcomes and build evidence that drives decisions for global impact. Our history includes developing one of the earliest models for social policy research, which set the stage for our growth as a diverse and innovative team using data science, social science, and technology to deliver sustainable solutions.
Employee ownership is a way of life and source of pride at Mathematica. We are a 100 percent employee-owned company, with a profit-sharing plan and an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) that benefit every member of our staff after six months of employment. The bottom line is simple: we all contribute to our mission, vision, and strategy, and we all have a stake in the results.
Mathematica has been a mission-driven organization for more than 50 years. But our definition of mission-driven has never stopped evolving. Today it describes not only our commitment to improving public well-being through the use of data and evidence, but also the way we engage with our clients, colleagues, and partners around the world. We are active volunteers in our communities, enthusiastic corporate sponsors for a range of non-profit events and organizations, and builders of shared workspaces that value collaboration, sustainability, and creating an environment where everyone belongs and has the opportunity to make an impact.
Mathematica staff across the U.S. have a tradition of volunteering in the communities where they live and work. You’ll find our staff helping in food pantries, building homes, mentoring youth, and sharing professional expertise and skills with non-profit organizations. Mathematica recognizes these efforts through a corporate giving philosophy that translates volunteer work hours into financial support for each organization.
