The 2020 Census is in jeopardy, putting at risk $700 billion in funding for schools, hospitals, food stamps, and other vital services. Accurate Census data is essential for fair redistricting from local school districts to State legislature and Congressional districts.

We provide innovative mobile-first solutions as well as training for nonprofits and local governments to better connect and engage with marginalized communities. See more at www.censusoutreach.org.
We are winners of the Battery Powered Award, Twilio Social Impact Fund, Amazon Imagine grant, and awards from New Media Ventures and Full Circle Fund.
Our work has been evaluated by governments and published in statistical journals. Our last yielded a 200x ROI, providing local low-income communities with an estimated $46 million per year for the 2021-2030 decade ($460 million total).
