About Us
The Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation (MTF) is the state's preeminent, trusted source for timely analysis and thoughtful recommendations on policies affecting employers, taxpayers, and our shared economic future. We provide our members with a wide range of expertise, including all aspects of tax and public finance as well as issues critical to our economy, including transportation, health care, workforce, child care, and education.
Why Us
Massachusetts is at a crossroads where changing demographics and increasing out-migration of residents threaten the fundamental formula for the Commonwealth's economic success. MTF is uniquely positioned to inform Beacon Hill, business leaders, and the public on how policymaking decisions will impact our future and put forward proposals that position the state for ongoing success. This work has never been more important.
Inform
MTF serves as a real-time non-partisan resource for policymakers and stakeholders by offering high-quality, timely, accurate, and insightful analysis of critical policy decisions and legislation that support the state's fiscal health and long-term growth.
Influence
MTF identifies the medium and long-term challenges to equitable and sustainable prosperity; puts forward constructive ideas; and works with a range of partners to advance those recommendations.
Impact
MTF shapes the Commonwealth's policy agenda. The Foundation has a 90-year track record of using research, analysis, and reputation to impact public policies that range from tax to budget, transportation to healthcare, and workforce.
Supporting a Diverse MTF Membership
MTF’s mission is to support sustainable and equitable economic growth throughout the Commonwealth. To do this, our membership must reflect the diversity of perspectives and lived experiences of people around Massachusetts.
