"While our efforts are comprehensive, our on-the-ground outreach team alone has assisted 10,444 Nevadans with their Census forms, which will bring in approximately $200,880,000 million into the state.”

It’s important Nevadans know they can be counted without leaving home. Now easier than ever, Nevadans can complete the Census through one of three safe, confidential and quick ways from the comfort of their own homes: online (www.census.nv.gov), via phone (844-330-2020; for Spanish 844-468-2020), or mail in the hard copy questionnaire.
WHY: For every person counted, Nevada stands to receive $2,000 each year for ten years that goes directly to help fund communities to stay healthy, safe and educated – that’s over $67 billion in federal funding over ten years if everyone is counted. Funding programs include, but not limited to:
• Medicaid
• Health Care Centers
• Nutrition Services for Senior Citizens
• School breakfast programs
• Head Start
• Pell Grants
• Career and Technical Education Grants
• Highway Planning and Construction
• Water & Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities
