Two years ago –in the face of incredible odds –the Census Bureau, along with all of us and our dedicated practitioner partners, set out to count every person residing in this country.
On March 4, the Funders’ Committee for Civic Participation (FCCP) joined 160 funders, practitioners, and census advocates on a
letter to the Office of Management and Budget related to federal data collection on race and ethnicity.

The Census Equity Initiative Steering Committee, Census Counts Campaign, FCCP’s Funders Census Initiative and United Philanthropy Forum joined together to review and reflect on newly released findings from a comprehensive evaluation of the national funder-stakeholder 2020 Census collaborative.
The Census Equity Initiative will continue the census collaborative that was created in the buildup to the 2020 decennial census.
Census Colleagues:
Today marks one year from the 2020 Census reference date.
The census doesn’t end when the counting stops. 2020 Census work is ongoing and 2030 planning is well underway.
