Census 2020: Community Organizations
The results of the 2020 Census will help determine how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding flow into communities and the organizations that serve them every year for the next decade. That funding shapes many different aspects of every community, no matter the size, no matter the location.

Decisions about an organization’s focus and services may depend on how federal funds are distributed and what community needs exist – and this is determined by the Census count!
