We are pleased to release our 2024 Impact Report, showcasing a year in which we deepened partnerships and reach with states and the federal government, expanded access to secure data, and empowered agencies with the tools and training to unlock insights for more informed policy decisions. Through innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to public impact, Coleridge continued to deliver on its mission to help governments use data more effectively to serve people and communities.

Read the 2024 Impact Report

This year’s report includes our work ranging from technological upgrades in our FedRAMP-authorized Administrative Data Research Facility (ADRF), to new applied training offerings and data products to meet partner needs. Projects like the Arkansas Enrollment-to-Employment Dashboard and Wisconsin’s tiered access tools are examples of how secure, integrated data and project-based training can drive better decisions for education, workforce, and support services.

In 2024, we achieved major milestones, such as securing a landmark $7.5 million agreement with the USDA, launching the State IMPACT Collaborative in partnership with MDRC, and hosting over 200 leaders at our Fourth Annual National Convening in Washington, DC.

The report also features the powerful work of our Democratizing Our Data Challenge (DDC) program teams, whom, with funding from Coleridge Initiative and access to the ADRF, designed scalable, collaborative tools to address policy issues in their states. From creating K-12 data models in New Jersey to building unemployment-to-reemployment dashboards in Wisconsin, these projects represent the future of data innovation in public service.

As we continue into 2025, our momentum is only growing and demand for high-quality and clear data is only increasing. We are proud to be shaping the future of data-driven public policy at Coleridge Initiative and we hope you enjoy the 2024 report!
