Why does the Census Bureau need your organization's help?
Questionnaire Assistance Centers will be a crucial part of Census operations this year. For those who are having difficulties in understanding or filling out their Census forms, having personal, confidential assistance available in convenient locales -i.e., Questionnaire Assistance Centers- helps those individuals get their families are counted, so that that their communities can receive needed resources and funding.

What does it mean to become a Questionnaire Assistance Center? Signing on to become a QAC entails donating a small area of space in your facility for 15 hours per week (3 hours during the day or the evening, 5 days a week) during parts of March and April to Census employees. These employees will set up and staff 1 table and 2 chairs to help people who are having difficulties in filling out their Census forms.

What does the agreement form mean?
The form outlines the donation agreement, along with some legal language aimed at protecting the nonprofit donor from liabilities. "The form is not even absolutely necessary," says one Regional Census Office representative. "Organizations can donate space without going through the formalities of a signed agreement simply by contacting their local or regional partnership specialist and indicating their interest in assisting."
