Desc	FAMILY WELL-BEING AND CHILD DEVELOPMENTCHILDREN WHO GROW UP IN POVERTY FACE MUCH GREATER RISKS OF ACADEMIC FAILURE, POOR HEALTH, AND EMOTIONAL DISTRESS AND, AS ADULTS, ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE UNEMPLOYED AND POOR. MDRC'S STUDIES ON CHILDREN AND FAMILIES ARE PROVIDING A NEW GENERATION OF RELIABLE EVIDENCE FOR POLICYMAKERS ABOUT STRATEGIES THAT BENEFIT THE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT OF LOW-INCOME CHILDREN - SOME BY IMPROVING THE LIFE PROSPECTS OF PARENTS AND OTHERS BY WORKING DIRECTLY WITH CHILDREN. (SEE SCHEDULE O)FOR MORE THAN TWO DECADES, MDRC HAS BEEN A LEADER IN AN EXPANDING FIELD OF RESEARCH THAT EXAMINES HOW CHILDREN ARE AFFECTED BY WELFARE REFORM AND OTHER SOCIAL POLICIES THAT ARE PRIMARILY DESIGNED TO AFFECT THE EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME STATUS OF THEIR PARENTS. MDRC IS STUDYING SEVERAL INITIATIVES THAT SEEK TO BENEFIT CHILDREN BY BUILDING HEALTHIER FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS, INCLUDING FEDERAL RESPONSIBLE FATHERHOOD PROGRAMS. MDRC IS THE LEAD EVALUATOR OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S $1.5 BILLION INVESTMENT IN HOME VISITING PROGRAMS, WHICH PROVIDE PREVENTIVE SERVICES TO FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN TO PREVENT CHILD MALTREATMENT, IMPROVE MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH OUTCOMES, AND INCREASE SCHOOL READINESS. OUR CHILD CARE AND EARLY EDUCATION STUDIES AIM TO DEEPEN POLICYMAKERS' UNDERSTANDING OF THE EFFECTS OF EARLY CARE ENVIRONMENTS, INCLUDING HEAD START. WE HAVE BEEN A LEADER IN DEVELOPING AND TESTING PROGRAMS THAT BOLSTER THE EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL DEVELOPMENT OF PRESCHOOLERS AND THE MATH SKILLS OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN AND KINDERGARTNERS. WE'RE LEADING THE EXPANDING CHILDREN'S EARLY LEARNING (EXCEL) NETWORK, A COLLABORATION OF LOCAL OFFICIALS, PRESCHOOL PROVIDERS, AND RESEARCHERS AS ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN INNOVATION AND EVIDENCE-BUILDING.

Desc	YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, CRIMINAL JUSTICE, AND EMPLOYMENTMDRC WAS ORIGINALLY ESTABLISHED TO STUDY PROGRAMS FOR THE "HARD-TO-EMPLOY," AMERICANS WHO FACE SERIOUS OBSTACLES TO FINDING AND KEEPING STEADY WORK. OUR VERY FIRST PROJECT, THE NATIONAL SUPPORTED WORK DEMONSTRATION, TESTED THE IMPACT OF PAID WORK EXPERIENCE FOR LONG-TERM WELFARE RECIPIENTS, EX-OFFENDERS, HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS, AND SUBSTANCE ABUSERS, AND IT IS STILL REGARDED AS ONE OF THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE SOURCES OF EVIDENCE ON EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS TARGETED TO THESE GROUPS. (SEE SCHEDULE O)TODAY WE ARE TESTING TAILORED INTERVENTIONS FOR SPECIFIC HARD-TO-EMPLOY GROUPS - YOUNG PEOPLE DISCONNECTED FROM THE WORLDS OF SCHOOL AND WORK, YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTS AT RISK OF ENTERING THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, EX-PRISONERS REENTERING THEIR COMMUNITIES, LONG-TERM WELFARE RECIPIENTS, AND PEOPLE WITH WORK-LIMITING DISABILITIES. THE FINDINGS OF OUR NEW STUDIES AS THEY EMERGE ARE INTENDED TO EXPAND THE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOW TO ADDRESS PARTICULAR BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT - AND HOW TO IMPLEMENT EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS IN THE DIFFERENT PUBLIC ASSISTANCE, ENFORCEMENT, AND SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEMS THAT INTERACT WITH THE HARD-TO-EMPLOY POPULATION.

Desc	ECONOMIC MOBILITY, HOUSING, AND COMMUNITIESLONG REGARDED AS THE PREMIER INVESTIGATOR OF POLICIES TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF FAMILIES ON WELFARE, MDRC HAS BROUGHT ITS PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT SKILLS AND REPUTATION FOR METHODOLOGICAL RIGOR TO THE CHALLENGE OF LEARNING HOW BEST TO IMPROVE THE ECONOMIC MOBILITY, HOUSING AND COMMUNITIES. IN A FOCUSED PORTFOLIO OF PROJECTS, WE ARE INVESTIGATING STRATEGIES TO "MAKE WORK PAY" - PROVIDING FINANCIAL SUPPORTS THAT BUILD A SAFETY NET AROUND WORK WHILE CONTINUING TO ENCOURAGE EMPLOYMENT - AND INITIATIVES TO HELP LOW-INCOME PEOPLE FIND MORE STABLE JOBS, ADVANCE IN THE LABOR MARKET, AND ACHIEVE LONG-TERM SELF-SUFFICIENCY. OUR STUDIES ARE AMONG THE LARGEST EVALUATIONS OF SUCH INTERVENTIONS IN THE COUNTRY. (SEE SCHEDULE O)THE CONCENTRATION OF POVERTY - AND AN ASSOCIATED LACK OF ACCESS TO GOOD JOBS, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, QUALITY GOODS AND SERVICES, AND ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL RESOURCES - PRESENTS SPECIAL CHALLENGES FOR IMPROVING THE PROSPECTS OF RESIDENTS OF LOW-INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS. MDRC HAS EVALUATED A NUMBER OF "PLACE-BASED" PROJECTS THAT ADDRESSED URBAN POVERTY AND JOBLESSNESS. MOST NOTABLE OF THESE WAS OUR JOBS-PLUS INITIATIVE, AN AMBITIOUS EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS INSIDE SOME OF THE NATION'S POOREST INNER-CITY HOUSING PROJECTS. BASED ON THE POSITIVE FINDINGS FROM JOBS-PLUS, THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD) LAUNCHED THE PROGRAM IN NINE LOCATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN 2015. WE ARE ALSO EVALUATING A NUMBER OF HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER REFORMS, HELPING TO IMPROVE THE NATION'S PRINCIPAL HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS.	Desc

Desc	K-12 EDUCATIONFOR 25 YEARS, MDRC HAS BEEN LEARNING WHAT MAY BE MOST EFFECTIVE TO RAISE THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE AT RISK OF FAILING. WE COLLABORATE WITH PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS, CHARTER ORGANIZATIONS, AND NATIONAL NONPROFITS TO EVALUATE THEIR PROGRAMS AND TO USE THAT INFORMATION TO HELP THEM DEVELOP EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGIES FOR CONTINUOUS PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT.AT A TIME OF GROWING NATIONAL AND STATE INTEREST IN IMPROVING LOW-PERFORMING SCHOOLS AND BETTER PREPARING STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE AND WORK, OUR EVALUATIONS OF COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOL REFORM MODELS AND CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS HAVE ESTABLISHED MDRC AS A RESPECTED VOICE IN EDUCATION RESEARCH AND POLICY AND AS A LEADER IN DESIGNING RIGOROUS EDUCATION EVALUATIONS. AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEVEL, WE ARE STUDYING A CLUSTER OF PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO RAISE LITERACY AND MATH SKILLS IN ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND TO IMPROVE TEACHING AND LEARNING BY INVESTING IN THE SKILLS OF TEACHERS. POSTSECONDARY EDUCATIONACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION HAS BEEN GREATLY EXPANDED SINCE THE MID-1960S. UNFORTUNATELY, RATES OF PERSISTENCE AND CREDENTIAL COMPLETION IN REMAIN DISTRESSINGLY LOW, PARTICULARLY AT COMMUNITY COLLEGES - WHERE ONLY ONE THIRD OF ALL STUDENTS WHO ENTER WITH THE INTENTION OF EARNING A DEGREE OR CERTIFICATE ACTUALLY MEET THIS GOAL WITHIN SIX YEARS. THE REASONS BEHIND THIS PROBLEM ARE MYRIAD: A LACK OF ADEQUATE PREPARATION IN THE K-12 SYSTEM AND THE CHALLENGE OF BALANCING WORK, FAMILY, AND SCHOOL RESPONSIBILITIES AND OTHERS ARE THE RESULT OF INSTITUTIONAL OR POLICY CONSTRAINTS (FOR INSTANCE, INSUFFICIENT ADVISING AND FINANCIAL AID, UNCERTAINTY OVER HOW TO TEACH BASIC SKILLS TO ADULTS, AND CONSTRAINTS IN COURSE OFFERINGS AND INFLEXIBLE SCHEDULING). POLICYMAKERS AND THE PHILANTHROPIC SECTOR HAVE FOCUSED NEW EFFORTS ON INCREASING STUDENT PERSISTENCE AND ACHIEVEMENT IN POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION. SINCE THE LAUNCH OF ITS OPENING DOORS DEMONSTRATION IN THE EARLY 2000S, MDRC HAS BEEN DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN DEVELOPING AND EVALUATING STRATEGIES TO HELP STUDENTS SUCCEED, PARTICULARLY STUDENTS AT COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND NONSELECTIVE FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTIONS. THROUGH OUR WORK, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE MOST EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS DEVELOPED BY OTHERS, HELPED REPLICATE THOSE PROGRAMS IN NEW CONTEXTS, AND ASSISTED COMMUNITIES AND INSTITUTIONS IN DEVELOPING NEW INTERVENTIONS BASED ON THE EVIDENCE DEVELOPED IN THE STUDIES AVAILABLE. OUR CURRENT CENTERPIECE PROJECT, SUCCESS, FOCUSES ON HELPING STATES AND HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS ADOPT AND SCALE THE MORE SUCCESSFUL INTERVENTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AND TESTED.CENTER FOR EFFECTIVE CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATIONMOTIVATED BY A DESIRE TO ADDRESS BOTH EDUCATION AND WAGE DISPARITIES, POLICYMAKERS, EDUCATORS, EMPLOYERS, AND PHILANTHROPISTS HAVE INCREASINGLY BEGUN TO INVEST IN NEW MODELS OF CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION (CTE) THAT ARE BASED ON THE PREMISE THAT ALL STUDENTS NEED POSTSECONDARY CREDENTIALS TO ADAPT TO AN INCREASINGLY COMPLEX LABOR MARKET. NO LONGER SIMPLY A STAND-ALONE VOCATIONAL CLASS IN HIGH SCHOOL OR AN OCCUPATIONAL SKILLS COURSE AT A COMMUNITY COLLEGE, CTE NOW ENCOMPASSES A BROAD RANGE OF MULTI-FACETED MODELS - INCLUDING CAREER PATHWAYS, APPRENTICESHIPS, SECTORAL TRAINING, AND EMPLOYER RELATIONSHIPS - AND SERVES EVERYONE FROM SECONDARY AND COLLEGE STUDENTS TO AT-RISK YOUTH AND ADULT WORKERS. BUILDING ON MDRC'S 20-YEAR HISTORY OF STUDYING CTE PROGRAMS, THE CENTER INCUBATES NEW IDEAS, SYNTHESIZES FINDINGS AND LESSONS LEARNED, AND DISSEMINATES THIS KNOWLEDGE TO POLICYMAKERS, PRACTITIONERS, AND OTHER RESEARCHERS IN ORDER TO HELP ENSURE THAT EXPANSION OF CTE PROGRAMS IS INFORMED BY A GROWING EVIDENCE BASE. THE CENTER DRAWS ON KNOWLEDGE ACROSS EDUCATION AND TRAINING SYSTEMS AND USES A BROAD LENS TO DETECT CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES, DEVELOP A TARGETED RESEARCH AGENDA, AND SHARE FINDINGS. CENTER FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE RESEARCHTHE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IS EMERGING FROM DECADES OF "GET TOUGH" POLICIES THAT QUADRUPLED THE RATE OF INCARCERATION NATIONALLY, TO THE POINT WHERE THE UNITED STATES, WITH LESS THAN 5 PERCENT OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION, NOW HOLDS MORE THAN 20 PERCENT OF THE WORLD'S PRISONERS. DRIVEN BY BUDGET PRESSURES, QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO RESPOND TO CRIME, AND CONCERNS ABOUT UNEQUAL TREATMENT UNDER THE LAW, A GROWING NUMBER OF STATES AND LOCALITIES ARE REFORMING THEIR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS. THEY SEEK TO REDUCE INCARCERATION AND INCREASE FAIRNESS BY CHANGING THE WAY CASES ARE HANDLED FROM THE FRONT END OF THE SYSTEM (ARREST AND PRETRIAL) TO THE BACK END (INCARCERATION AND REENTRY). THE MDRC CENTER FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE RESEARCH WORKS WITH NATIONAL AND LOCAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE AGENCIES, POLICYMAKERS, COURTS, AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO ANSWER PRESSING QUESTIONS AND IMPROVE BOTH THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND THE OUTCOMES OF INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED IN IT.CENTER FOR APPLIED BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE (CABS)TOO OFTEN, PROGRAMS AND POLICIES DO NOT CONSIDER THE WAY PEOPLE ACTUALLY THINK AND BEHAVE. IT IS OFTEN ASSUMED THAT THOSE MOST IN NEED WILL FIND A WAY TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES, BUT BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE DEMONSTRATES THAT EVEN SMALL HASSLES CREATE BARRIERS THAT PREVENT THOSE IN NEED OF SERVICES FROM RECEIVING THEM. APPLYING THESE INSIGHTS CAN IMPROVE THE WAY PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED AND SERVICES ARE DELIVERED. CABS HAS COLLABORATED WITH MORE THAN 100 AGENCIES, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, AND NONPROFITS IN 26 STATES TO DEVELOP AND TEST BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTIONS TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR CLIENTS AND STUDENTS.CABS COMBINES MDRC'S EXPERTISE IN SOCIAL PROGRAMS WITH INSIGHTS FROM BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE. PROJECTS THAT ARE AFFILIATED WITH CABS DEVELOP INNOVATIVE, LOW-COST INTERVENTIONS TO IMPROVE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SOCIAL PROGRAMS AND THE EXPERIENCES OF THE FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS RECEIVING THESE SERVICES. INTERVENTIONS ARE BASED ON RESEARCH FROM BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE, INCLUDING BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS, SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY, COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY, AND ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR. PROBLEMS TACKLED BY THE CENTER ADDRESS RELEVANT POLICIES IN HUMAN SERVICES PROGRAMS, EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS, AND EMPLOYMENT TRAINING PROGRAMS. USING A DIAGNOSTIC METHODOLOGY TO IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES MOST AMENABLE TO LIGHT-TOUCH, HIGH-IMPACT INTERVENTIONS, CABS DESIGNS INTERVENTIONS AND TESTS THEIR IMPACT THROUGH EXPERIMENTATION AND PROVIDES TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES IMPLEMENTING SUCH APPROACHES.CENTER FOR DATA INSIGHTSACROSS THE SOCIAL SECTOR, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ARE ALL BENEFITING FROM GREATER ACCESS BOTH TO MORE DETAILED AND FREQUENT DATA AND TO A VARIETY OF OPTIONS FOR INCREASED COMPUTING POWER. WITH DATA-SCIENCE TOOLS AND GUIDANCE IN APPLYING THEM, PRACTITIONERS CAN HARNESS MULTIPLE SOURCES OF DATA TO GAIN NEW INSIGHTS ABOUT THE INDIVIDUALS THEY SERVE, THE CONTEXTS IN WHICH THEY OPERATE, THEIR STAFF MEMBERS, AND THEIR PROGRAM FEATURES. WHEN SUCH TOOLS ARE INCORPORATED INTO DAILY OPERATIONS IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY, THEY CAN HELP PRACTITIONERS IMPROVE THEIR PROGRAMS AND THE LIVES OF THOSE THEY SERVE.WITH THE LAUNCH OF THE MDRC CENTER FOR DATA INSIGHTS, MDRC IS FURTHERING ITS LONG-STANDING COMMITMENT TO HELPING ORGANIZATIONS WITH WHICH WE COLLABORATE THEIR PROGRAMS AND SYSTEMS BY HARNESSING THE BENEFITS OF OPERATIONAL DATA-SCIENCE TECHNIQUES - THOSE THAT PRODUCE ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS THAT CAN AFFECT DAILY PRACTICE. RANGING FROM SIMPLE DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARIES TO ADVANCED MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS, THE CENTER'S PROJECTS AIM TO USE INSTITUTIONS' INCREASINGLY RICH DATA TO PROVIDE NEW INSIGHTS THAT CAN HELP THEM REFINE AND TARGET THEIR SERVICES. THE CENTERPIECE OF CDI'S WORK IS A MAJOR FEDERAL PROJECT - THE TANF DATA INITIATIVE - WHICH WORKS WITH WELFARE AGENCIES IN BUILDING LONG-TERM STAFF CAPACITY AT THE LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL LEVELS, WHILE ALSO MAKING IMMEDIATE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE QUALITY OF TANF DATA.

PART V, LINE 4:

MDRC'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS CREATED AN ENDOWMENT FUND IN 1999. THE FUND INCLUDES PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED, TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED, AND UNRESTRICTED CONTRIBUTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED TO THE FUND FOR THE PURPOSE OF MATCHING A $7 MILLION, FIVE YEAR CHALLENGE GRANT GIVEN BY THE ATLANTIC PHILANTHROPIES. SPENDING FROM THE ENDOWMENT FUND IS INTENDED TO SUPPORT PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, INFORMATION DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES, AND CORPORATE STRATEGIC INITIATIVES. SPENDING FROM THE ENDOWMENT IS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BASED ON THE RULES ESTABLISHED UNDER MDRC'S ENDOWMENT SPENDING POLICY.

PART X, LINE 2:

MDRC FOLLOWS GUIDANCE THAT CLARIFIES THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN A TAX RETURN, INCLUDING ISSUES RELATING TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT. THIS GUIDANCE PROVIDES THAT THE TAX EFFECTS FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION CAN ONLY BE RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IF THE POSITION IS MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT TO BE SUSTAINED IF THE POSITION WERE TO BE CHALLENGED BY A TAXING AUTHORITY. THE ASSESSMENT OF THE TAX POSITION IS BASED SOLELY ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE TAX POSITION MAY BE CHALLENGED. MDRC IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER IRC SECTION 501(C)(3), THOUGH IT IS SUBJECT TO TAX ON INCOME UNRELATED TO ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE, UNLESS THAT INCOME IS OTHERWISE EXCLUDED BY THE CODE. MDRC HAS PROCESSES PRESENTLY IN PLACE TO ENSURE THE MAINTENANCE OF ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS; TO IDENTIFY AND REPORT UNRELATED INCOME; TO DETERMINE ITS FILING AND TAX OBLIGATIONS IN JURISDICTIONS FOR WHICH IT HAS NEXUS; AND TO IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE OTHER MATTERS THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED TAX POSITIONS. MDRC HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE ARE NO MATERIAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE RECOGNITION OR DISCLOSURE IN ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1	FOUNDED IN 1974, MDRC IS A NONPROFIT, NONPARTISAN SOCIAL POLICY AND EDUCATION RESEARCH ORGANIZATION THAT IS DRIVEN BY ITS MISSION: MDRC IS DEDICATED TO LEARNING WHAT WORKS TO IMPROVE THE WELL-BEING OF LOW-INCOME PEOPLE. THROUGH OUR RESEARCH AND THE ACTIVE COMMUNICATION OF OUR FINDINGS, WE SEEK TO ENHANCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SOCIAL POLICIES AND PROGRAMS THAT AFFECT THE POOR. WITH A DIVERSE STAFF OF CLOSE TO 300 AND OFFICES IN NEW YORK CITY, SAN FRANCISCO THE BAY AREA, LOS ANGELES, AND WASHINGTON, DC, MDRC CARRIES OUT ITS MISSION BY MOUNTING LARGE-SCALE EVALUATIONS OF GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS TARGETED TO PEOPLE WITH LOW INCOMES, DEVELOPING AND FIELD-TESTING PROMISING NEW APPROACHES, PROVIDING DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION ASSISTANCE TO BUILD BETTER PROGRAMS THAT CAN BE REPLICATED AND EXPANDED, AND WORKING TO ENSURE THAT OUR EVIDENCE INFORMS POLICY AND PRACTICE. WE HELPED PIONEER THE USE OF RANDOM ASSIGNMENT - THE SAME METHODOLOGY USED TO TEST NEW MEDICINES - IN SOCIAL POLICY RESEARCH. WORKING WITH OTHERS, MDRC IS BUILDING AN IMPORTANT BODY OF EVIDENCE ABOUT WHAT WORKS - AND DOESN'T WORK - TO ADDRESS SOME OF SOCIETY'S TOUGHEST PROBLEMS, INCLUDING THOSE THAT REFLECT THE CONTINUING RACIAL AND ECONOMIC INEQUITIES IN OUR NATION. OVER THE YEARS, MDRC HAS BROUGHT ITS COMMITMENT TO BUILDING STRONG EVIDENCE TO AN EVER-GROWING RANGE OF POLICY AREAS AND TARGET POPULATIONS. WE HAVE WORKED IN NEARLY EVERY STATE AND MOST OF THE NATION'S MAJOR CITIES. MDRC'S PROJECTS ARE ORGANIZED INTO EIGHT RESEARCH AREAS: - ECONOMIC MOBILITY, HOUSING, AND COMMUNITIES - K-12 EDUCATION - YOUTH CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND EMPLOYMENT - FAMILY WELL-BEING AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT - POST SECONDARY EDUCATION - CENTER FOR APPLIED BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE - CENTER FOR DATA INSIGHTS - INFORMATION DISSEMINATION PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY AND STRATEGIC INITIATIVES MDRC HAS WORKED DILIGENTLY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS TO STRENGTHEN OUR EXISTING PROGRAMMATIC TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH, AND COMMUNICATIONS FUNCTIONS, WHILE BUILDING NEW CAPABILITIES IN BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE AND DATA ANALYTICS - ALL IN THE SERVICE OF IMPROVING EDUCATION AND SOCIAL PROGRAMS. EVERY PROGRAM - WHETHER ADMINISTERED BY A NONPROFIT OR A GOVERNMENT AGENCY - STRUGGLES WITH TARGETING, RECRUITING, AND ENGAGING ITS INTENDED PARTICIPANTS, AND WE ENDEAVOR TO HAVE THE TOOLS THAT CAN HELP THEM. MANY OF THE ENTITIES WITH WHICH WE WORK - WHETHER NONPROFITS OR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES - ARE EAGER TO ENGAGE OUR TWO TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTERS, THE CENTER FOR APPLIED BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE AND THE CENTER FOR DATA INSIGHTS, IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THEIR SYSTEMS AND PROGRAMS. COMBINED WITH OUR DECADES OF EVIDENCE-BUILDING RESEARCH AND OPERATIONAL EXPERTISE FROM CONDUCTING AND EVALUATING DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS, MDRC NOW OFFERS "END-TO-END" RELATIONSHIPS AND SERVICES THAT INCORPORATE CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE LINKS AMONG AN INTERVENTION'S IMPLEMENTATION SYSTEM, ITS CORE ACTIVITIES, AND ITS HIGHEST PRIORITY OUTCOMES; STRONG DATA ANALYSIS; PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS; BEHAVIORAL DIAGNOSIS AND DESIGN; AND OTHER TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES TO HELP PROGRAMS TARGET THEIR SERVICES EFFECTIVELY, IMPROVE THEIR RECRUITMENT AND ENGAGEMENT, AND DESIGN THEIR SERVICE APPROACHES TO CHANGE THE TRAJECTORIES OF THEIR PARTICIPANTS. WHAT DISTINGUISHES MDRC? DEDICATION TO LEARNING WHAT WORKS TO IMPROVE THE WELL-BEING OF FAMILIES WITH LOW INCOMES. WHEN SELECTING NEW PROJECTS, MDRC TAKES A PROACTIVE, STRATEGIC APPROACH THAT IS BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF THE KEY ISSUES AND TRENDS IN SOCIAL POLICY AND AN ASSESSMENT OF OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN. WE TRY TO ANSWER IMPORTANT POLICY QUESTIONS BY CONDUCTING MULTIPLE STUDIES OVER TIME, EACH BUILDING ON THE LAST, CONFIRMING WHAT HAS COME BEFORE AND ADDING NEW KNOWLEDGE. DEVOTION TO RIGOR, ACCURACY, AND INNOVATION. TO SHAPE POLICY AND PRACTICE IN THE FIELD, IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO LEARN WHAT WORKS; RESEARCH MUST LEARN HOW PROGRAMS WORK AND WHY SOME DON'T. EACH MDRC STUDY USES RIGOROUS APPROPRIATE RESEARCH DESIGN TO ASSESS WHAT DIFFERENCE A PROGRAM MAKES. WE ARE KNOWN FOR LARGE-SCALE STUDIES USING RANDOM ASSIGNMENT, BUT WE ALSO USE AN ARRAY OF QUALITATIVE METHODS - ETHNOGRAPHY, FOCUS GROUPS, CASE STUDIES ROOTED IN FIELD RESEARCH, CLASSROOM OBSERVATIONS, CASE FILE REVIEWS, AND IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWING - TO COMPLEMENT OUR QUANTITATIVE ANALYSES. WE'RE ALSO A LEADER IN METHODOLOGICAL INNOVATION, DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING NEW EVALUATION DESIGNS IN REAL-WORLD CONDITIONS. RESEARCH EXPERTISE AND OPERATIONAL KNOW-HOW. EVEN THE MOST INNOVATIVE RESEARCH DESIGNS CANNOT SUBSTITUTE FOR STRONG PROGRAMS. OUR DIVERSE STAFF INCLUDES BOTH EXPERTS IN QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH AND EXPERIENCED MANAGERS OF PROGRAMS AND PUBLIC AGENCIES. THIS COMBINATION OF RESEARCH AND OPERATIONAL EXPERTISE HELPS IMPROVE THE PROGRAMS WE STUDY AND THAT THE REAL-WORLD TESTS WE MOUNT ANSWER THE RIGHT QUESTIONS. AS PART OF OUR MISSION TO BRING DIVERSE NEW RESEARCHERS INTO THE FIELD, WE HOST DOCTORAL FELLOWS AND MASTER'S AND UNDERGRADUATE INTERNS FROM UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS. COMMITMENT TO CLEAR COMMUNICATION. FOR MDRC'S EVIDENCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE PUBLIC POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT AFFECT LOW-INCOME PEOPLE, IT MUST REACH A BROAD AUDIENCE. WE PRODUCE CLEARLY WRITTEN RESEARCH REPORTS AS WELL AS POLICY BRIEFS, "HOW-TO" GUIDES, INFOGRAPHICS, VIDEOS, AND PODCASTS THAT DISTILL THE RESULTS OF OUR STUDIES AND DISCUSS THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR POLICY AND PRACTICE. WE WIDELY DISSEMINATE OUR FINDINGS - TO THE MEDIA AND PUBLIC INTEREST GROUPS; IN TESTIMONY BEFORE CONGRESS AND STATE LEGISLATURES; AT PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCES AND IN JOURNAL ARTICLES; THROUGH NEWS BULLETINS E-MAILED TO MORE THAN 16,000 PEOPLE AND ENTITIES; VIA OUR COMPREHENSIVE WEB SITE; THROUGH A SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE, PARTICULARLY ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER (WITH A COMBINED 45,000 FOLLOWERS); AND THROUGH THE PROVISION OF HANDS-ON TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO PUBLIC AND NONPROFIT PROGRAM OPERATORS. IN RECENT YEARS, WE'VE LAUNCHED THREE BLOGS: THE IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH INCUBATOR, REFLECTIONS ON METHODOLOGY, AND IN PRACTICE. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MDRC EXPERTS WRITE COMMENTARIES FOR AND ARE QUOTED IN THE MAINSTREAM AND TRADE PRESS ON THE FULL RANGE OF POLICY AREAS IN WHICH WE CONDUCT RESEARCH, INCLUDING IN THE NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, AND NPR, AS WELL AS IN OTHER INFLUENTIAL PUBLICATIONS LIKE THE ATLANTIC, THE HILL, AND GOVERNING MAGAZINE, AND IN A WIDE RANGE OF TRADE PUBLICATIONS AND INFLUENTIAL BLOGS. MDRC STRIVES TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LESSONS FROM ITS RESEARCH ARE IN THE HANDS OF POLICYMAKERS AND FUNDERS. WE REGULARLY BRIEF FEDERAL AGENCY OFFICIALS - INCLUDING THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET - AND STAFF ON CAPITOL HILL AND IN THE CONGRESSIONAL RESEARCH AGENCIES ABOUT THE FINDINGS FROM OUR STUDIES, AND WE PRESENT AT NATIONAL CONFERENCES IN THE POLICY AREAS IN WHICH WE WORK. WE ALSO REACH STATE AND LOCAL POLICYMAKERS THROUGH MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATIONS, LIKE THE NATIONAL GOVERNORS ASSOCIATION, THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF STATE LEGISLATURES, AND THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HUMAN SERVICES ASSOCIATION, AND WE TESTIFY BEFORE STATE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES. AND WE WORK WITH INFLUENTIAL THINK TANKS FROM ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1	ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2020 LIKE EVERYONE, MDRC'S WORK AND ITS STAFF WERE AFFECTED BY 2020'S UNPRECEDENTED COVID-19 PANDEMIC. IN MARCH, OUR STAFF QUICKLY TRANSITIONED TO A VIRTUAL WORK ENVIRONMENT AND COLLABORATED WITH OUR FUNDERS AND RESEARCH ASSOCIATES TO REASSESS AND MODIFY OUR RESEARCH AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROJECTS TO RESPOND TO THE NEEDS OF THE MOMENT. BEGINNING IN SPRING OF 2020, WE LISTENED CAREFULLY TO THE MANY ORGANIZATIONS AND ENTITIES THAT WE COLLABORATE WITH ON THE GROUND - FROM LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND NONPROFIT PROVIDERS TO LARGE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES - TO LEARN HOW WE COULD BE HELPFUL TO THEM AS THE PANDEMIC UNFOLDED. WE QUICKLY DISTILLED RELEVANT KNOWLEDGE AND EVIDENCE INTO SHORT ACTIONABLE BRIEFS THAT PROVIDE PROFILES OF PROGRAM INNOVATIONS DURING THE PANDEMIC, TIPS AND STRATEGIES FOR DELIVERING SERVICES REMOTELY, AND POLICY OPTIONS FOR RECOVERY. IN THE FALL, WE DEVELOPED A SERIES OF "IDEAS AND EVIDENCE 2021" POLICY MEMOS WITH IDEAS FOR THE NEW ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESS IN EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION, THE CHILD TAX CREDIT, HOUSING, COMMUNITY COLLEGE, AND MORE. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, WE PUBLISHED COMMENTARIES ABOUT USING EVIDENCE AND DATA TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES BROUGHT BY THE PANDEMIC, RECESSION, AND CONTINUING INEQUITIES IN SOCIETY. THEY APPEARED IN SUCH PUBLICATIONS AS GOVERNING, GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE, THE HILL, COMMUNITY COLLEGE DAILY, AND SPOTLIGHT ON POVERTY AND OPPORTUNITY. IN THE END, 2020 WAS A YEAR OF CONTRADICTIONS. LIKE OTHERS, WE HAVE OBSERVED THAT EVEN AS NONPROFITS, PHILANTHROPY, AND PUBLIC SYSTEMS STRUGGLED TO RESPOND TO THE CRISIS, THEY ALSO PRODUCED PROMISING INNOVATIONS. BENEFIT SYSTEMS EASED ELIGIBILITY AND ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS; SERVICE PROVIDERS PIVOTED RAPIDLY TO VIRTUAL PROGRAM DELIVERY THAT MAY PROVE USEFUL IN THE FUTURE; AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS REDUCED THEIR USE OF BAIL AND INCARCERATION. MANY OF THESE EMERGENCY REFORMS HAVE FOUND WAYS TO REDUCE INEQUITY IN WAYS THAT COULD HAVE STAYING POWER. GOING FORWARD, WE HOPE TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE POLICYMAKERS AND PRACTITIONERS WITH PRACTICAL EVIDENCE OF WHAT WORKS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES LIVING WITH LOW INCOMES THROUGH MDRC'S TWO TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTERS AND SEVEN DEPARTMENTS FOCUSED ON POLICY DOMAINS.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15	PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION THE FINANCE AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ("THE COMMITTEE") OF MDRC'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS ESTABLISHES EACH YEAR THE COMPENSATION AND BONUS PAYMENTS, IF ANY, FOR THE TOP PAID AND NEXT TOP PAID OFFICER OF THE ORGANIZATION BASED ON SURVEY INFORMATION PROVIDED TO THEM FROM BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SOURCES. THE INDIVIDUALS AT THE END OF 2020 ARE DR. KNOX AND MR. AMADEO. EACH YEAR MDRC'S HUMAN RESOURCES FUNCTION CONDUCTS A REVIEW OF THE FORM 990 AND OTHER DOCUMENTS OF RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS THAT PERFORM SIMILAR RESEARCH AS MDRC, TO ASCERTAIN THEIR PAY STRUCTURES FOR THE TOP AND SECOND TOP PAID OFFICERS, WHICH IS TYPICALLY THE CEO OR PRESIDENT AND THE COO/CFO. INCLUDED IN THIS SURVEY IS THE BASE SALARY AND BONUS PAYMENTS MADE TO THE TOP AND SECOND TOP PAID EXECUTIVES OF THESE OTHER POLICY RESEARCH FIRMS, ALONG WITH SUCH COMPARABLE FACTORS AS SIZE OF THE ORGANIZATION AS MEASURED BY HEADCOUNT AND OPERATING BUDGETS. THIS SURVEY INFORMATION IS SUPPLEMENTED BY COMPARABLE INFORMATION PROVIDED FROM AN EXTERNAL, THIRD PARTY CONSULTING FIRM CALLED THE NATIONAL THINK TANK COMPENSATION SURVEY (NTTC) CONDUCTED BY AKRON INCORPORATED, A WASHINGTON DC BASED COMPENSATION CONSULTING FIRM. THE NTTC COMPILES THE BASE SALARY AND BONUS PAYMENT INFORMATION PROVIDED BY SURVEY PARTICIPANTS AND DISPLAYS THE INFORMATION ANONYMOUSLY BY QUARTILE, LOCATION, AND FIRM SIZE (STATED IN TERMS OF EMPLOYEES AND BUDGET). SURVEY PARTICIPANT INCLUDE COMPETING POLICY RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS, AS WELL AS FOUNDATIONS, ENDOWMENTS, AND UNIVERSITIES. THE RESULTS OF BOTH THE IN-HOUSE AND EXTERNAL SURVEYS AND COMPARISON OF FORM 990S FOR THOSE COMPARABLE NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ARE PRESENTED TO THE COMMITTEE, WHICH THEN DELIBERATES, AND BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, ESTABLISHES THE PAY LEVEL FOR MDRC'S PRESIDENT AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. THE COMPENSATION OF THE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER IS APPROVED BY THE BOARD. PART VI, SECTION B LINE 15B PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION THE COMMITTEE ESTABLISHES COMPENSATION LEVELS FOR THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, AS REQUIRED BY THE CALIFORNIA NONPROFIT INTEGRITY ACT OF 2004. COMPENSATION FOR THE REST OF THE OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES IS BASED ON A RECOMMENDATION BY THE PRESIDENT TO THE COMMITTEE. THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PRESIDENT ESTABLISHES A MERIT AND BONUS POOL FOR THE COMING YEAR, BASED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S STANDARD PAY PRACTICE AS DESCRIBED BELOW. THE PRESIDENT SETS AND APPROVES THE SALARY LEVEL AND BONUS PAYMENTS FOR OFFICERS OTHER THAN THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, AND FOR OTHER KEY EMPLOYEES. EACH YEAR, MDRC'S PRESIDENT RECOMMENDS TO THE BOARD A SALARY POOL FOR MERIT INCREASES AND DISCRETIONARY BONUSES TO BE PAID TO OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES IN THE ORGANIZATION. THE MERIT INCREASE AND BONUS POOLS ARE GENERALLY COMPETITIVE WITHIN THE TWO MARKETPLACES IN WHICH THE ORGANIZATION COMPETES FOR HUMAN TALENT (NEW YORK AND CALIFORNIA). THE PRESIDENT BASES THE RECOMMENDATION ON SURVEY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE ORGANIZATION'S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT, WHICH IN TURN, OBTAINS LOCAL LABOR MARKET PAY PRACTICES FROM EXTERNAL THIRD PARTY CONSULTING FIRMS SUCH AS MERCER HUMAN RESOURCES CONSULTING AND TOWERS PERRIN COMPENSATION CONSULTING, AS WELL AS CONDUCTING A SURVEY OF PAY PRACTICES FROM OTHER POLICY RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS. TYPICAL MERIT INCREASE POOLS IN RECENT YEARS HAVE BEEN IN THE FOUR PERCENT (4%) TO FIVE PERCENT (5%) RANGE. ONCE THE MERIT INCREASE POOL HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD, MDRC ESTABLISHES EACH EMPLOYEE'S SALARY BASED ON TWO FACTORS: PERFORMANCE ON THE JOB DURING THE MOST RECENT CALENDAR YEAR (MDRC USES A FOUR TIER PERFORMANCE RATING SYSTEM), AND WHERE AN EMPLOYEE'S SALARY FALLS WITHIN THE SALARY RANGE ESTABLISHED FOR THEIR POSITION (CALLED A COMPA-RATIO). HOLDING PERFORMANCE CONSTANT, MDRC'S COMPENSATION SYSTEM PROVIDES A GREATER INCREASE IN SALARY TO THOSE EMPLOYEES WHO ARE LOW IN THEIR SALARY RANGES AND PROVIDES SMALLER INCREASES IN SALARY TO THOSE EMPLOYEES WHO ARE HIGH IN THEIR SALARY RANGES. SALARY RANGES ARE DETERMINED BY AN INTERNAL JOB EVALUATION COMMITTEE BASED ON JOB DESCRIPTIONS OF WORK PERFORMED, COUPLED WITH MARKET SALARY INFORMATION FROM THIRD PARTY SOURCES. THE SAME SALARY SYSTEM IS DEPLOYED FOR OTHER OFFICERS, KEY EMPLOYEES, AND THE GENERAL EMPLOYEE POPULATION OF THE ORGANIZATION.

MDRC CONTINUES TO MONITOR ITS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO AND ITS LIQUIDITY AND IS ACTIVELY WORKING TO MINIMIZE ANY POTENTIAL LONG-TERM IMPACTS. MDRC IS ACTIVELY WORKING WITH ITS RESEARCH COLLABORATORS AND FUNDERS AND DOES NOT EXPECT AN ADVERSE EFFECT FROM THE PANDEMIC IN ITS FUTURE WORK.

THE PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM ESTABLISHED BY THE CARES ACT PROVIDES SMALL BUSINESSES WITH FUNDS TO PAY UP TO 24 WEEKS OF CERTAIN NECESSARY EXPENDITURES, INCLUDING PAYROLL COSTS, RENT, AND UTILITIES. MDRC RECEIVED A PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM FORGIVABLE LOAN OF $4,648,200 AND REPORTED THIS LOAN ON ITS BALANCE SHEET. THE ORGANIZATION APPLIED FOR FULL FORGIVENESS OF THE LOAN IN MAY OF 2021 AS IT MET ALL OF THE CRITERIA REQUIRED BY THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION TO OBTAIN FORGIVENESS. THE LOAN WILL BE RECORDED AS GOVERNMENTAL GRANT REVENUE ON THE SUCCEEDING YEAR FORM 990.
