WE COUNT! A 2020 Census Counting Book
The Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands (CFVI) sponsored the distribution of 5,500 copies of WE COUNT! A 2020 Census Counting Book to families throughout the territory. The goal of the WE COUNT! Campaign is to ensure that children and families understand the importance of being accurately represented in the population count. The book explains how Census 2020 is used and how families benefit from being counted. It also provides an introduction to civic engagement: being seen, being counted, voting and organizing.

Reports
- Hurricane Recovery and Building Forward – Comprehensive Report: Included in this comprehensive report of CFVI’s Hurricane-related funding activities are details on a wide range of philanthropic vehicles, which the Foundation created to effectively steward millions of dollars in donations, respond to the intentions of thousands of donors, and provide support to more than 100 grantees. In fact, from September 2017 through the end of July 2020, more than 10,000 individual donors and institutions contributed over $18 million in donations and grants.
- HelpUSVINow! Fund Report: This report provides a summary of the grants distributed from the HelpUSVINow! Fund, which was established by Richard J Stephenson to help the USVI recover from hurricanes Irma and Maria, which impacted the U.S. Virgin Islands in September 2017. The Stephenson Family Foundation contributed $2 million to benefit health, education, and other long-term needs of the USVI community.
- Fund For the Virgin Islands (FFVI) Report: This report provides a summary of donor contributions and the subsequent distribution of more than $8 million from the Fund For the Virgin Islands to support relief and recovery projects and programs in the Territory after Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017.
- USVI Early Childhood Advisory Committee Strategic Report (2012): This report provides a summary of the last four years of activities and an update of the system of services and initiatives provided by various government and private agencies, either individually or collaboratively, aimed at improving outcomes for young children and their families in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
- Early Childhood Advisory Committee Strategic Report (2011): This report provides a summary of the last four years of activities and an update of the system of services and initiatives provided by various government and private agencies, either individually or collaboratively, aimed at improving outcomes for young children and their families in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

- USVI Early Childhood Advisory Committee Strategic Report (July 2013): The Virgin Islands ECAC Strategic Plan’s mission is to develop a high-quality, coordinated, sustainable system of supports and services for young children and their families so all children begin school safe, healthy, and ready to succeed.

- Pathways to Excellence – The U.S. Virgin Islands’ Early Childhood Professional Development System Plan: Recommendations to the Early Childhood Advisory Committee: Numerous indicators led the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) Early Childhood Advisory Committee (ECAC) to prioritize the development of a new professional development system, called Pathways to Excellence. The proposed policies contained in this report are responsive to emerging data about the need for a more robust, effective, and systemic approach to the training and education of early childhood professionals in the USVI, and the need for multiple pathways toward excellence in practice for this very diverse workforce.

- Taking Stock: A Preliminary Examination of Early Care and Education in the USVI: The purpose of this research was to begin to survey the landscape of early care and education (ECE) settings in the USVI with the hopes of informing interventions to strengthen the overall quality of the sector.
