NOTE: This guidebook was created to encourage individuals, organizations, and communities to help ensure a complete and accurate count for the 2020Census. It was specifically targeted to community and economic development organizations to help make sure historically undercounted populations were counted. Now that the census is over, we are collecting success stories and lessons learned, especially from Complete Count Committees and Census Bureau employees, and preparing to repurpose the guidebook for the 2030 Census. Partnering with the U.S. Census Bureau is the Key To Ensuring Your Community Gets Its Fair Share of 7 Approximately Trillion Dollars That Will Be Allocated Over 10 Years Based on the 2020 Census. The first section of the guidebook provides an overview of the decennial census compiled primarily from the website and other public domain resources of the U.S. Commerce Department. The second section of the guidebook provides a few examples of Partnerships established by States, Cities, Counties, & Foundations. The Action Steps Section is intended to serve elected officials and community leaders who missed earlier opportunities and resources provided by the Bureau, particularly the Community Partnership and Engagement Program (CPEP). While the marketing and training materials produced by the Bureau are comprehensive and definitely first class, the coauthors believe a simplified condensation of the most important overview information and Action Steps might serve a useful purpose.We designed it for elected officials, community leaders, and other individuals who want to get actively involved in helping make sure their community, its organizations and residents receive a fair share of the funding that will be allocated based on the 2020 Census. This guidebook is essentially is a CALL TO ACTION! FIRST, if you are a resident of the USA and you haven't yet completed the 2020 Census, STOP everything and go to2020census.gov. You can quickly and easily answer the questions online, over the phone, or with the printed copy if you have one. SECOND, if you represent a community or any nonprofit organization, this is YOUR Call To Action to MAKE SURE your organizations and community are actively helping ensure a complete and accurate count. And just to clarify that is YOU if you live in any community and or if you belong to any organization! The Bureau partners with local, state, and national government agencies as well as community development organizations and other active community-led organizations to ensure that all residents are counted. Almost 400,000communities & organizations have become a formal Partner and about 10,000Complete Count Committees have been created by states, counties, communities, nonprofit organizations, faith-based organizations, etc. If your community and organizations are already actively participating in the 2020Census, THANK them and find out how you can help. If they haven't yet gotten involved you might want to ASK THEM WHY NOT! There is too much at stake totaling 7 trillion dollars for programs that provide essential services to EVERY community. Perhaps the leaders of your community or nonprofit organization think they are too busy or maybe they just don't realize the risks of not fully engaging in the Census. YOU can be the local Census Champion by helping them understand why they too should join the thousands of other communities and organizations that are invested as formal Partners with the Census. The time to help Shape Your Community's Future is NOW! Everything you need to know is available in this guidebook and at2020census.gov. NOTE: 100% of net-profits will be donated to organizations serving hard to count populations: children, minorities, veterans, seniors, individuals with disabilities, experiencing poverty and or homelessness.
