Web Site Offers Census Details

October 29, 2009

The Nonprofit Voter Engagement Network, a project of the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits, has created a new Web site that provides information about the 2010 census and materials that nonprofit groups can use to encourage the people they serve to complete their census questionnaires.

Visitors to the site can sign up for training Webinars that the network is hosting for charities interested in promoting the census and listen to archived versions of past Webinars.
