Census Mini Grant Application |
ACT envisions a City that embraces residents from all walks of life and where everyone can fully participate in our civic life and economic prosperity. Census data helps us understand the full story of our community by counting everyone who lives here. ACT is partnering with foundations across the region to mobilize resources and influence to support a complete count in the 2020 Census and participating on the City’s Complete Count Committee.
We know organizations with relationships in hard-to-count communities are the best messengers for getting the word out about the Census and its importance. ACT believes it is important that Census outreach is not another “unfunded mandate” placed on Alexandria nonprofits and their stakeholders so we are allocating $10,000 for Census Mini Grants to assist with outreach and awareness building activities in these areas. We anticipate awarding grants between $250 - $1,000 grants, based on the need and request.
