U.S. Census 2020

Your voice matters.

By April 1, 2020 – Census Day – individuals across the country will be asked to answer a short set of questions that will shape the future of the nation.

These questions can influence major decisions about federal funding for the State of Illinois and for our community. As the “community’s foundation”, we understand the importance of funding for organizations that raise the quality of life for those in the Fox River Valley. When everyone is counted, fairly and accurately, our communities can receive the resources they need. That means every response, every voice – your voice – matters.

To that end, we’ve compiled some helpful materials for you as Census Day approaches:

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

President Emeritus

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.
