Helping children, families, and communities grow stronger together.

Help Make Children Count Too

Children have been undercounted in every census since the first one in 1790. The Annie E. Casey Foundation is supporting the Census Bureau’s efforts to ensure that parents and child care providers count their babies and young children on their 2010 Census forms so all children can benefit tomorrow from community services.
