Why Use Census Data?
• The basis for any successful grant proposal is objective evidence that a vital community need exists.
![Page 7: Using Census Data to Get Grants](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032502/55ba8349bb61eb1c4d8b4741/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
You Can’t Always Get What You Want
…but know what you are hoping to find before going online in order to be as efficient as possible.
With grant proposals, you are usually gathering demographic information (statistical characteristics of a population) or other baseline data (to show past results, measure a current situation or calculate future results). The data is usually either required by the funder or desired to objectively demonstrate the need for funding.
If you aren’t sure whether the Census has the data that you need, try using FedStats: http://www.fedstats.gov/

Quick Fixes: Simple Searches
If all that you need is basic demographic information for the US, a state, county or city, the Census Bureau has made life easy for you. Consider the Census home page once more…. (But let’s do Poll #2 to gauge your experience first.)
