The New York Community Trust has joined with other funders in the state to create the New York State Grantmakers for Census Equity which plans to raise $1 to $2 million to help mobilize local and statewide efforts to make the 2020 Census accurate and fair, spokespersons with the trust told New York Nonprofit Media.

Children are especially at risk of being undercounted. The 2010 census undercounted almost one million young children, according to analysts with Georgetown University’s Center for Children and Families. The problem appears set to worsen in 2020.
