Why Fill Out The Census?

Industry Standard Reporting
Funders are increasingly relying on impact data for information on the organizations they support.
Demonstrable Program Impact
The Impact Census enables our member organizations to demonstrate the significant role their micro business clients play in local and statewide economies. By collecting impact data, organizations can easily gauge their progress toward key goals, or evaluate the impact of new funding or policies.
Program Development
Raise your profile and manage valuable performance metrics from number of microloans disbursed to cost per client. Use this to sharpen and strengthen your program.
Strengthening Advocacy Efforts
CAMEO uses the Impact Census to advocate for state and federal policies that increase resources to the micro enterprise field. Micro-businesses are a huge part of California’s economy, but they’re not always the most visible. The Impact Census allows us to easily and powerfully make the case for all our members.
