As we celebrate our fifth year as an organization, we’re excited to share an important evolution in our growth. The Coleridge Initiative is now Coleridge, paired with a new tagline that reflects our purpose and direction: Data for Impact. We also got a new look, updating our logo and branding with our new name. The updated visual identity and name is connected to our past but refined for the future and the changes mark a milestone as we move from an emerging organization to a trusted, national partner helping governments use data more effectively to inform public decision-making.

When Coleridge was founded, the word “Initiative” reflected our early-stage focus: building momentum, piloting new approaches, and proving what was possible. Five years later, our work has matured. Our secure data platform, the ADRF, is widely known for its innovative infrastructure and Coleridge maintains long-term state and federal partnerships through training and advisory support for public-sector agencies leveraging data to improve outcomes for people and communities. 

The new tagline, Data for Impact, captures a core belief that guides our work: data is not the end goal, it is the means to reach impact. Whether through secure data infrastructure, ADA training courses, or cross-state collaboration, Coleridge exists to ensure data leads to better decisions and real-world results for governments and partners.

What hasn’t changed is our mission and our vision. We remain deeply committed to responsible and trusted data use, strong governance, and building capacity within government. As Coleridge, we’re excited to continue this work to partner with agencies, researchers, and leaders nationwide to ensure data is used not just securely, but meaningfully.
