The Glades Initiative is a proud Census 2030 partner!
Why is the census important? The results of the census help determine how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding, including grants and support to states, counties and communities are spent every year for the next decade. That funding shapes many different aspects of every community, no matter the size, no matter the location (U.S. Census Bureau).
