Collaborations for Change
Making positive impacts through collaborations across government agencies and jurisdictions.
Democratizing our Data Challenge
Funded by philanthropic organizations, the Democratizing our Data Challenge gave states an opportunity to develop data products and collaborate across jurisdictions. The Challenge was designed to develop and scale innovative product ideas for understanding public policy and programs.
Prison Education Programs Data Infrastructure
Funded by Ascendium Education Group and conducted in partnership with the State of Arkansas, this project will develop a comprehensive, linked data infrastructure to measure prison education programs. This resource will support analyses of educational opportunities in prisons and help estimate how effective these programs are in promoting post-release success.
Building Data-Driven Pathways from Incarceration to Opportunity
Millions of Americans with records of arrest, conviction, or incarceration face significant barriers to education, employment, and economic mobility. Overcoming these challenges requires more than individual programs—it requires better coordination across corrections, workforce, education, and human services systems, supported by secure, connected data. Coleridge is proud to partner with Jobs for the Future (JFF) on the Fair Chance to Advance (FC2A) State Action Networks, a multi-year initiative made possible through a $19.5 million investment from Ascendium Education Group. Together, we are helping states build the data infrastructure, cross-agency partnerships, and analytical capacity needed to improve education and workforce outcomes for justice-impacted individuals.

About Coleridge
Coleridge is a nonprofit organization working with government agencies to ensure that data are more effectively used for public decision-making. We do this both by providing a platform to securely link confidential data within and across states and agencies, and by providing data literacy training to agency staff. Our platform is the Administrative Data Research Facility (ADRF) which is a secure, FedRAMP-certified, cloud-based environment that enables government agencies to link their longitudinal data with other states and agencies.
