Mission and programs · 2024

• SOCIAL SCIENCES - RESEARCH AND PUBLIC POLICY ANALYSIS: THE RESEARCH TO ACTION LAB IS AN INNOVATION HUB SERVING DECISIONMAKERS AND CREATIVE THINKERS EAGER TO EFFECT SOCIAL CHANGE. WE DRAW ON THE BREADTH AND DEPTH OF THE URBAN INSTITUTE'S RESEARCH INSIGHTS TO TEST NEW STRATEGIES AND DEVELOP CUTTING-EDGE TOOLS, PROGRAMS, AND TRAININGS, AS WELL AS PROVIDE STRATEGIC AND PHILANTHROPIC ADVICE TO PUBLIC, NONPROFIT, AND PRIVATE-SECTOR LEADERS. NIMBLE AND CREATIVE, THE LAB TAKES AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO HELPING DECISIONMAKERS NAVIGATE CURRENT CHALLENGES AND SEIZE FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES IN LOCALITIES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. OUR MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM OFFERS EXPERTISE IN IDENTIFYING AND CULTIVATING APPROACHES THAT SHAPE PUBLIC DEBATE, IMPROVE DECISIONMAKING, AND SPARK DISRUPTIVE SOLUTIONS TO TODAY'S COMPLEX SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CHALLENGES.

• SOCIAL SCIENCES - RESEARCH AND PUBLIC POLICY ANALYSIS: AT THE CENTER ON LABOR, HUMAN SERVICES, AND POPULATION, WE STUDY HOW FAMILY, YOUTH, AND INDIVIDUAL WELL-BEING IS SHAPED BY ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS, AND HOW POLICIES AND PROGRAMS CAN IMPROVE ECONOMIC SECURITY, WORK, AND CHILD WELFARE AND DEVELOPMENT. UNDERSTANDING HOW FAMILIES ARE FARING IN THE FACE OF ECONOMIC PRESSURES, DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE, AND PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL CHALLENGES IS ESSENTIAL FOR POLICYMAKERS AND PRACTITIONERS WHO OVERSEE SOCIAL SERVICES AND PROGRAMS. OUR RESEARCH EXPLORES THE IMPLICATIONS OF THESE CHANGES FOR PEOPLE AND POLICIES.

  Expenses $18,395,637 · Grants $1,551,288

• SOCIAL SCIENCES - RESEARCH AND PUBLIC POLICY ANALYSIS: THE INCOME AND BENEFITS POLICY CENTER GIVES DECISIONMAKERS CRUCIAL INFORMATION BY PREDICTING HOW POLICY CHANGES WILL AFFECT PEOPLE, PROGRAMS, AND GOVERNMENT. WE ANALYZE FAMILY ECONOMIC WELL-BEING FROM CHILDHOOD THROUGH RETIREMENT AND UNDERTAKE RESEARCH ON A WIDE VARIETY OF ISSUES, INCLUDING INCOME SUPPORT, SOCIAL INSURANCE, TAXES, AND CHILD SUPPORT; EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROGRAMS AND POLICIES; EMPLOYERS, WORKPLACES, AND THE LABOR MARKET; AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS AND POLICIES. AS TECHNOLOGICAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC SHIFTS TRANSFORM THE NATURE OF JOBS, OUR EXPERTS ON POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT STUDY WHAT SKILLS WORKERS WILL NEED IN THE FUTURE AND WHAT CHALLENGES LIE AHEAD FOR RETIREES. OUR RESEARCH EXPLORES THE IMPLICATIONS OF THESE CHANGES FOR PEOPLE AND POLICIES.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
