Don't be left out!

Excerpted from Nonprofits Count!:

Data collected by the Census next year will be used to determine a host of issues critical to the nonprofit community. Lower income and more mobile populations, precisely those served by many nonprofits, are frequently undercounted by the census, leading to underfunding of critical services and infrastructure and under-representation in government.

Nonprofits can play an important role in making sure their communities are fully and accurately counted by educating them on the importance of the census and how to participate.

Nonprofits Count, a project of the Nonprofit Voter Engagement Network (NVEN), has released a new Census Toolkit for Nonprofit Organizations. This toolkit is available free at http://www.nonprofitscount.org and includes information to help nonprofits get involved with the 2010 Census.
