With cuts to federal spending for the U.S. Census, the city of Boise will spend $100,000 of its own funds to make sure as many people within city limits as possible take the federally mandated survey next year.

Boise City Council gave the green light to dedicate its own funds to pay for advertising, social media campaigns, flyers and paid canvassers to impress the importance of the upcoming count.

The Idaho Press reports, in previous years, the count was conducted on paper, with residents filling out their responses and mailing them to the government. This year, the count will be done online or over the phone.

For every Idahoan who fills out the survey between April 1 and early June, the state will receive an additional $1,473 of federal funding.
