The Foundation has received both state and national acclaim for its work analyzing the costs and benefits of living, working and doing business in Massachusetts. While much of this information is included in the major reports and other publications available on this site, the detailed statistics that are the backbone of the published findings are available from MTF by request. As the premier independent watchdog of state and local finances, MTF collects and analyzes a wide variety of data focusing on Massachusetts revenues and spending. In a testament to our credibility, the Foundation has for more than a decade prepared the only non-government forecast of tax revenues that is routinely used in developing the annual state budget. In addition to our efforts to monitor state government spending, MTF also keeps a close eye on the Massachusetts economy at large.
Information is currently available by request via telephone, e-mail or in writing.
Over time, MTF plans to make key facts and figures available directly on this web site. Click on the economic and fiscal links for a more detailed look at the kinds of information MTF has to offer.
