Description

Our Company

Mission Measurement (MM) is the world leader in measuring social outcomes. We help federal, state, and local government define, analyze, and improve the results of grant investments in education, housing, public health, workforce development, and more. We believe social outcomes can be standardized and measured consistently.

At the center of our work is the Impact Genome Registry, the first-ever database with outcomes and cost benchmarks from over 2.2 million social programs. We are the premier implementors of the IGR with federal, state, and local agencies, working with them to track results, uncover “what works,” and invest where tax dollars will have the greatest impact.

Our goal is to maximize the impact of every dollar spent on social change.
