Collaborating closely with decision makers and changemakers, the organization is reimagining the way the world collects, analyzes, and applies data to solve urgent challenges, from climate change to disparities that fuel inequality. 

Employee-owned and mission-driven, Mathematica centers diversity, equity, and inclusion in all activities—and thrives because of it. Government agencies, private-sector organizations, foundations, and businesses providing health care and other human services rely on the organization to deliver evidence-based solutions that improve programs, refine strategies, and deepen understanding. 

Our Mission, Vision, and History

Mathematica’s mission is to improve public well-being by using data and evidence that meet the highest quality standards. Together with partners, the organization is working to build a more equitable and just world, where evidence drives decisions for global impact. The organization's history includes developing one of the earliest models for social policy research, which set the stage for growth as a diverse and innovative team using data science, social science, and technology to deliver sustainable solutions. 

Employee-Owned and Dedicated

Employee ownership is a way of life and source of pride at Mathematica. The organization is a 100 percent employee-owned company, with a profit-sharing plan and an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) that benefit every member of the staff after six months of employment. The bottom line is simple: everyone contributes to the mission, vision, and strategy, and everyone has a stake in the results. 

Our Commitment to Our Communities and Each Other

Mathematica has been a mission-driven organization for more than 50 years. But the definition of mission-driven has never stopped growing. Today it describes not only the commitment to improving public well-being through the use of data and evidence, but also the way the organization engages with clients, colleagues, and partners around the world. The organization is active in volunteering in communities, enthusiastic in corporate sponsorship for a range of non-profit events and organizations, and dedicated to building sustainable shared workspaces that value climate consciousness, equity, and work-life balance.
