Shift Research Lab

Shift Research Lab, formerly known as The Data Initiative, has undergone a name change and rebranding to better reflect their mission and identity. With a focus on pioneering a data-driven culture within Colorado's social sector, they aim to expand their reach and impact. Through the provision of reliable, objective data and analysis, they empower social change organizations to make informed decisions and have a more profound impact on the communities they serve. They offer free, neighborhood-level data and analysis, perform objective research, and provide technical assistance to help organizations build their capacity to use data. Their advocacy for the democratization of data aims to tackle pervasive social issues with clarity and empathy, under the hashtag #DataDrivingSocialChange.
