TIPS:

Answers are saved automatically when you leave each field.
Turn SPELL-CHECKING on. Your browser probably has it, might as well use it.
Copying/pasting data works best when you are pasting UNFORMATTED text. (Bullets and other special characters do not transfer and are usually replaced with question marks.)
When you paste data into a field, the character count will be inaccurate until you add/delete at least one character.
Log out and come back at any time to continue your work, but be sure to finish and submit before the deadline.
Submit early, if you can!

Description [hide this]

The primary focus of the grant is to fund community engagement and outreach activities specifically encouraging Hard-to-Count (HTC) populations to participate in the 2020 Census. The District of Columbia is looking for highly experienced CBO’s who have a history of using hyper-local techniques based on trust and cultural understanding to help educate and engage HTC populations at-risk of being undercounted.

The District wants to ensure the US Census gets an accurate and complete count of the District’s increasingly diverse and growing population by mitigating or eliminating some of the barriers to participate in the 2020 Census and by mitigating or eliminating some of the barriers that have historically prevented hard to count populations from participating in the Census.

The programs should encompass culturally and linguistically competent outreach strategies to support efforts to organize, inform and motivate residents around the 2020 Census with a focus on populations in Wards 1, 5, 7 and 8, low income residents, African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Asians/Pacific Islanders, Africans, other immigrant communities, seniors, and families with young children. For the 2020 Census, households with limited computer and internet access are also at risk of an undercount as this will be first online Census.

If at any time you are confused about the application process, please read the following PDF for a complete list of instructions and tips for using ZoomGrants: https://www.zoomgrants.com/welcome/applicantslideshow.pdf.
