About Cobalt Community Research

Schedule Consultation

---

America is full of good people who care about their communities. They work with local governments, schools and non-profit organizations. They visit local businesses. They strive to make a difference. 
​
​While they struggle to make their towns a better place, they have real challenges: Staff is stretched, funding is tight, demands are rising. 
​
​Cobalt was created to make their work easier and more impactful by combining data and engagement.

Cobalt is a national 501c3 nonprofit, non-partisan coalition that helps local governments, schools and membership organizations affordably engage communities through high-quality data, benchmarking, geofencing, and community engagement. Cobalt combines big data with local insights to help communities thrive as changes emerge in the economic, demographic and social landscape.
