Count Me In “Ten for ‘10”

Is a collaborative funding initiative of Long Island-based foundations to support a coordinated nationwide campaign to increase participation in the 2010 census in communities that are at significant risk of being undercounted.  Specifically, the initiative seeks to increase the response rate in what the Census Bureau has determined are Long Island’s hard-to-count communities, which include people of color, children, immigrants, residents of multi-family dwellings, renters, and many other undercounted populations.  The foundations invite proposals from nonprofit organizations for activities such as public education, outreach, communications, special events and community mobilizing specifically aimed at increasing mail response rates in designated communities.
