For the 2010 and 2020 Massachusetts Census, Philanthropy Massachusetts served as the fiscal sponsor and as a partner in the Massachusetts Census Equity Fund, a statewide funding initiative that worked to increase participation in the decennial Census, specifically in communities that were at risk of being undercounted.
