Research rooted in what matters most.

We help organizations improve outcomes for moms, children and families through rigorous research communicated with clarity and heart.

Data with heart.
Strategy with purpose.

Whether it’s a policy change or a new program, every effort to improve outcomes for families needs solid data behind it — and someone who can make that data impossible to ignore. Bloom Research and Strategy helps organizations understand what's really happening for moms, kids and families, and what to do about it.

We specialize in research and strategy focused on maternal and child well-being, translating numbers into narratives that move people, programs and policy forward.

What Sets Us Apart

Plenty of firms can collect data, run an analysis, and hand you a bar graph. Fewer can take that same data and build the case for change that actually moves a legislator to vote differently, a funder to make the investment, or a community to feel truly seen. That's the gap we specialize in closing.

We’ve seen firsthand how good policy and programming—shaped by strong research—can make a difference for families.

To date, we’ve helped our clients:

  • Collect, analyze and synthesize data that built support for a winning ballot measure generating $12 million in annual local funding for childcare.

  • Design and conduct a needs assessment that informed the creation of a new childcare tuition assistance program.

  • Analyze and communicate powerful new data on severe maternal morbidity and hospital-based birth outcomes.

  • Spotlight the factors driving rural health inequities by pairing quantitative data with the voices of local community members.

Real data. Real partnerships. Real change for families.
