The United States Census is conducted every 10 years in accordance with the U.S. Constitution. It is the most expansive peacetime exercise of the federal government as it aims to count every single resident living in the entire country. A fair and accurate census is essential to numerous aspects of civic life, from allocation of billions of dollars in federal funds to political representation at all levels of government.
If you're interested in putting on a community outreach event to promote the census, there are grant opportunities for your faith organization provided by the Northern California Grantmakers.
