Philanthropy Southwest is pleased to invite you to participate in this upcoming webinar:

Census 2020: Why Philanthropy Counts

Presented in partnership with the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers and the Funder’s Committee for Civic Participation, you are invited to join the conversation about why the census matters and the role that philanthropy can play in ensuring a fair and accurate count. Data from the census drive key decisions made by government, business, nonprofits and philanthropy. Unfortunately, the Census has historically missed disproportionate numbers of people of color, immigrants, young children and low-income and rural households. For example, it is estimated that the “undercounted” included about a million children in the 2010 Census. By not being counted, these individuals and communities may not receive needed services and resources that otherwise would be afforded to them on the basis of census data. Although the Census 2020 is four years away, policy and administrative decisions being made now in Washington, DC, and across the country will carry significant implications for census accuracy and outcomes. We hope that you will join us to learn more about why the census is critical to your work, the communities you care about and how you can be involved in ensuring a fair and accurate count. 

This event is open to all funders as well as staff from the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers.
