Columbus Counts Grant Application
The Columbus Counts: 2020 Census Grants application is live! Mayor Andrew Ginther is providing funding to support local, community-based organizations in getting out the 2020 Census count in Columbus and Franklin County. The City’s goal is to ensure every resident in Columbus and Franklin County is counted, especially individuals from traditionally hard-to-count (HTC) communities. This funding will be distributed to local community-based organizations in Columbus and Franklin County through a mini-grant process administered by the United Way of Central Ohio for the purpose of reaching traditionally HTC communities. Each local organization will receive a grant to implement Census activities that educate and organize their HTC communities around the Census.

government. The 2020 Census results will also determine how many
Representatives the State of Ohio gets in the U.S. House of Representatives.
