HOLLYWOOD-Horizon 180’s Paul Chaderjian speaks with ANCensus2010.org
spokeswoman Tamar Yardemian Baboujian on the project and opportunities
for community groups to get involved in ensuring an accurate count
in the 2010 Census.
The ANC-WR Census 2010 campaign efforts are supported in part by a
grant from the California Community Foundation. The grant will assist
the ANC-WR to conduct an aggressive community outreach campaign for the
2010 Census. The goals of the ANCensus 2010 project include maximizing
Armenian American participation in the 2010 headcount and informing
the community to indicate Armenian as their race on the questionnaire.
The outreach campaign also allows for re-granting opportunities to
Armenian American nonprofit organizations. The ANC-WR will distribute
grants in the coming months to those Armenian American organizations
that are willing to conduct Census outreach work. Organizations must
submit proposal applications by Friday, February 5, 2010. For more
information on re-granting opportunities, visit ANCensus2010.org or
call the ANCensus 2010 Hotline at (888) 666-4761.
