Census Community

As a collaborative we are a part of a broader coalition of census-focused organizations and initiatives, including key CEI partners, and fit into the vast national landscape of census data operations and their impact.

Our Census Collaborative Infrastructure

CFC, along with Funders’ Committee for Civic Participation, United Family Forum and others, have been encouraging funders to begin preparing for the 2030 Census.

 In 2025, CFC put out a call-to-action encouraging funders to organize convenings to discuss the importance of the census and begin developing philanthropic coordinated or collaborative plans. By the end of 2025, funders in 39 states offered to host or co-host events to help foundations and other donors get ready. As the map below shows, many of these events have already been held and more are slated for 2026.

If you would like information about upcoming events or would be willing to host an event for funders in your state, please contact us.
