The Communications Consortium Media Center is a Washington, DC communications firm dedicated to helping nonprofit organizations use media and communications strategies for policy change. The Census Project is a collaboration of nonprofit, academic and business groups organized around ensuring a fair, accurate, inclusive and thorough Census count. This grant will support the Census Project in its work to lead the public education and policy advocacy effort in support of the American Community Survey, a federal data collection effort that may be eliminated or curtailed. Administered by the Census Bureau, the American Community Survey results are used to determine how $450 billion in federal spending is allocated for health care, education, housing, job training, veterans’ services, transportation and other public services. The Census Project will organize and implement a communications strategy to educate Americans about the importance and benefits of the American Community Survey.
