Programs that work. Research that holds up. Impact you can prove.
MAJOR is a boutique consulting firm helping governments, foundations, corporations, and nonprofits design effective programs, conduct rigorous research, and make evidence-based decisions that create lasting community impact.
We bring institutional-grade rigor and deep, on-the-ground experience — because we’ve actually built and run the programs we now help you design.
Trusted by the governments, institutions, and funders shaping economic opportunity
Institutional rigor. Community credibility. One firm.
MAJOR helps institutions design programs that work, ground decisions in real evidence, and create measurable community impact. What sets us apart is the combination we bring to every engagement: institutional-grade rigor and authentic, on-the-ground experience.
We don’t assume what communities need — we’ve built and run programs inside them. That practitioner’s perspective is something most consulting firms simply can’t offer.
Most firms bring rigor or community credibility. We bring both.
Proven program design
We don’t just advise on programs — we’ve built and run them. A documented methodology makes our work repeatable and ready to deliver.
Research built for decisions
Mixed-methods rigor, delivered in plain language for decision-makers — evidence you can act on and defend, not academic reports.
Authentically community-grounded
Our engagement is built on real relationships, not assumptions — the difference between programs that look good on paper and programs that work.
Three ways we help you create impact
From a single research study to a full program launch, every engagement begins with a discovery call and a clearly scoped plan — so you know exactly what you’re getting.
