The Census Bureau's mission is to serve as the nation’s leading provider of quality data about its people, housing, employment, workforce, government sectors, economy, neighborhood improvements, public health, education, transportation, school districts and more.  

 The Census also determines the distribution of Congressional seats to states and the use to apportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The Economic Census provides details on businesses industries, geography, and services.  645 billion or more of federal funds are distributed to local/state, and tribal governments annually.  https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/eldoradocountycalifornia

As you know, each and every year BILLIONS of dollars are awarded to people and organizations, in the form of free-money and other types of funding. This money comes from all different sources including but not limited to state and federal agencies and through private corporations and foundations. Most people know this money exists, but just don't know where to apply, how much they qualify for, or even where to get an application.  USA Grant Applications was designed to give you the help you need to locate and apply for these funds because if you are like most Americans, you just don't know where to start. https://usagrantapplications.org/v9/
