Mission	Founded in 1974, MDRC is a nonprofit, nonpartisan social policy and education research organization that is driven by its mission: MDRC is committed to finding solutions to some of the most difficult problems facing the nation - from reducing poverty and bolstering economic self-sufficiency to improving public education and college graduation rates. We design promising new interventions, evaluate existing programs using the highest research standards, and provide technical assistance to build better programs and deliver effective interventions at scale. We work as an intermediary, bringing together public and private funders to test new policy-relevant ideas, and communicate what we learn to policymakers and practitioners - all with the goal of improving the lives of low-income individuals, families, and children. 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	MissionDesc

Desc	Family Well-Being and Childrens Development Children 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. MDRCs 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. 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 governments $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. Were leading the Expanding Childrens 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 Employment MDRC 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. 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	Low-Wage Workers and Communities Long 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 health of low-income workers 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. The concentration of poverty - and 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 nations 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 nations principal housing assistance programs.	Desc

Form 990, Schedule D, Part V

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.

Form 990, Schedule D, 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 VI - Policies & Procedures	990 Review Process The Form 990 review process at MDRC includes an internal review by MDRC's Senior Vice President/Chief Financial Officer and President as well as external review by Grant Thornton. The Form 990 is then reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The full Board is provided with a copy of the Form 990 prior to its being filed with the IRS. The full board discusses the Form 990 post-filing at its scheduled annual meeting in December.
PART VI, SECTION B LINE 12C	Conflict of Interest Policy Enforcement & Monitoring Directors and officers are required to complete and sign an annual conflict of interest disclosure statement. The statements are reviewed by the corporate Secretary and the President for actual or possible conflicts of interest. If any is disclosed, or inferred, these actual or possible conflicts of interest are brought to the attention of the Chairman of the Board. In response, the Chairman might convene a group of disinterested directors to discuss and address the conflict. All employees, including officers who are also staff members and key employees, are required to read and sign a code of ethics, which includes information about conflicts of interest. Annually, each employee must sign a statement disclosing the presence or absence of conflicts of interest on behalf of the employee and family members. Failure to do so can result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. These statements are reviewed by the Human Resources Department and, as appropriate, by counsel for determination regarding action that should follow the reporting of an actual or potential conflict of interest. In addition to the required annual report, all employees are instructed by the code of ethics that they have a responsibility to report a violation of the code. Employees can report any such violation to MDRC supervisory personnel, the Human Resources Department, or to an independent organization, Lighthouse Services, which hosts an online site and toll-free number which employees can use to make complaints anonymously or in identifiable form.
PART VI, SECTION B LINE 15A	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 2019 are Dr. Knox and Mr. Amadeo. Each year MDRC's Human Resources function conducts a review of the Form 990's 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 990's 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.
PART VI, SECTION C LINE 19	Availability of Documents MDRC's Financial Statements are made available to the public through the MDRC website and a hard copy is provided upon request. MDRC's governing documents and conflict of interest policy are generally available to the public upon request. Part VII-A Line 1 - Former Officer Senior Fellow, Frederick Doolittle, is reported as a former officer on the Form 990 as he is still currently employed by MDRC, but in a non-officer capacity.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D - OTHER PROGRAMS	Postsecondary Education Access 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 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 evidence developed in 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. K-12 Education For 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. Center for Effective Career and Technical Education Motivated 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 services everyone from secondary and college students to at-risk youth and adult workers. Building on MDRCs 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 Research The 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 worlds population, now holds more than 20 percent of the worlds 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 scores of education and human service programs in more than two dozen states to develop and test behavioral interventions to improve outcomes for clients and students. CABS combines MDRCs 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. In 2019, we developed a dedicated CABS website that highlights the breadth of the centers work with 100 agencies, educational institutions, and nonprofits in 26 states using behavioral science to solve problems and improve outcomes. Center for Data Insights Across 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 centers projects aim to use institutions increasingly rich data to provide new insights that can help them refine and target their services. The centerpiece of CDIs 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.the quality of TANF data.
