About
MEF Associates is a small social policy research firm offering a full range of evaluation, policy research, and technical assistance services.
Our mission is to improve the lives of individuals, children, and families by building knowledge and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of public policy and programs.
Since our founding in 2009, this mission has guided our work across a wide range of policy areas—including child and family policy, workforce development, income security, early childhood education, and more.
Our experienced staff bring expertise in multiple social policy areas and a demonstrated ability to execute projects with multi-site teams working on issues of national interest.
