23 MICHIGAN NONPROFITS COUNT CAMPAIGN Michigan Nonprofits Count Campaign Nellie Tsai Community + Civic Engagement Director ntsai@mnaonline.org May 11,

24 MICHIGAN NONPROFITS COUNT CAMPAIGN Established in 1990 About MNA State-wide membership organization that serves the diverse nonprofit sector though advocacy, training, and resources MNA is a sponsoring organization for AmeriCorps VISTA Membership is open to all Michigan nonprofit organizations. For-profit businesses and government entities may join as affiliate members. 21

25 MICHIGAN NONPROFITS COUNT CAMPAIGN About the campaign Goal: To maintain statewide participation rates from the 2010 census for the statewide number of respondents to the 2020 census. To create a multi-level coalition of nonprofits ready to address future democracy issues. Strategy: To cultivate involvement of nonprofit organizations in census 2020 with a focus on hard-to-count communities. 22

26 MICHIGAN NONPROFITS COUNT CAMPAIGN WHAT S AT STAKE? THERE IS STRENGTH IN NUMBERS The more people counted means more money and power for Michigan residents at home and in Washington. What s at stake: MICHIGAN S HARD-TO-COUNT POPULATIONS People of color Immigrants Undocumented people Young children Low-income people Homeless individuals Those traditionally served by nonprofits Michigan stands to lose $1,800 per person per year of federal funding to support programs that use Census data. Census data are used by public officials to determine distribution of federal funds for programs, including: Title l and Special Education grants; Foster Care and Child Care grants; Section 8 Vouchers; K-12 Education; and Head Start/Early Start, among others. Michigan stands to lose another Congressional seat and a reduction in the number of electoral college votes reduced representation at the federal level. Federal funding for infrastructure programs, including rebuilding roads, highways and bridges. An inaccurate Census count means the hard-to-count populations will rely more heavily on nonprofit organizations for services. 23

27 MICHIGAN NONPROFITS COUNT CAMPAIGN WHY NONPROFITS? MICHIGAN NONPROFITS: UNIQUELY QUALIFIED TO MOBILIZE THE HARD-TO-COUNT POPULATIONS FOR CENSUS 2020 Historically, the Census has missed disproportionate numbers of racial minorities, immigrants, young children and those living in poverty ( hard-to-count populations ) leading to inequality in political power, government funding and private-sector investment for these communities. WHY NONPROFITS TO MOBILIZE THE HARD-TO-COUNT POPULATIONS: Located in communities most at risk of being under counted urban and rural. Maintain everyday contact and have trusting relationships with the communities they serve. Manage cultural sensitivities and language needs within their communities. Nonprofits driven by social missions strive to ensure their communities have access to the funds, services, representations, and physical and social infrastructure affected by the Census count. Nonprofits are keenly aware of the negative impact an undercount will have on their communities, and that they will need to find ways to make up for the shortfalls. 24

28 MICHIGAN NONPROFITS COUNT CAMPAIGN WHAT S AT STAKE? LARGEST FEDERAL SOURCES THAT USE CENSUS DATA FOR DISTRIBUTION 25
