MassINC 30th Anniversary

MassINC 30th Anniversary

In 2026, MassINC celebrates three decades as a leader in the Commonwealth, working to make Massachusetts a place of expansive economic opportunity and civic vitality. We play a unique and essential role in strengthening public policy through action-oriented research, award-winning journalism, and inclusive civic engagement. We do this work across our three independent divisions – the MassINC Policy Center, our civic news organization, CommonWealth Beacon, and our public opinion research firm, The MassINC Polling Group.

Celebrate with us on May 14th

Since 1996, MassINC has advanced evidence-based research, independent journalism, and civic engagement to inform public dialogue and strengthen decision-making across Massachusetts. For 30 years, our work has helped policymakers, civic leaders, and communities understand the Commonwealth’s challenges and opportunities.

On May 14, 2026, we’ll mark this milestone by reflecting on our shared impact and looking ahead to the work still to come. Join civic leaders, partners, and friends in downtown Boston in the State Room at 60 State Street for an evening of connection and conversation. We’ll celebrate three decades of influence and help shape the ideas that will define a stronger, more equitable Massachusetts.
