The Community Foundation of Westmoreland County and the Westmoreland County Complete Count Committee are partnering with regional organizations to implement a mini-grants program to support census-related activities in Armstrong, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Washington and Westmoreland counties.
The fund will provide grants up to $2,000 to community-based organizations (nonprofits, schools or municipalities) that agree to advance the work of the 2020 Census with populations identified to be at risk of an undercount.
The application process is now open and will close on July 31st at 11:59 pm.

Eligible applicants must be one of the following:
- An incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operating in one of the eligible counties
- A school or educational institution operating in one of the eligible counties
- A municipality in one of the eligible counties
In recognition of the extraordinary burden placed on nonprofits during this time, the application is brief and the funders will embrace creative ways your organization may be able to add census outreach into your existing activities.
For those that have previously received grant funding for your Census work, you are welcomed to apply again if you have exhausted your previously granted funds.
Census 2020 Deadline: The deadline for completing the 2020 Census has been extended to October 31st, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Visit the Census 2020 website for more information.
