PALCUS has been busy doing important work to advocate for our community, serve as a resource, and provide assistance whenever and however we can. We accomplish quite a lot with an all-volunteer board and one paid staff member, but we still need your support to keep us on track.

​

This Giving Tuesday, consider giving to PALCUS.

​

Proceeds go towards programs like: Congressional Receptions, Scholarships, The PALCUS Index National Survey, National Conferences, the Annual Leadership Awards Gala, Internships, the Make Portuguese Count™ 2020 Census Campaign and MORE!

​

Help us to make every dollar count to benefit the Portuguese-American Community on a national level.

-Become a member or make a general donation by visiting palcus.org
-Host or sponsor a mixer in your hometown to raise awareness
-This holiday shopping season, designate PALCUS as your preferred charity when making purchases through your smile.amazon.com account. 0.5% of the value of every purchase made will go to PALCUS

PALCUS INDEX - NATIONAL COMMUNITY SURVEY - 2019

2nd Edition is now open!

You are invited to participate in 2nd edition of our survey,

the PALCUS INDEX – NATIONAL COMMUNITY SURVEY.

This survey is conducted by PALCUS in order to gain a better understanding of our Portuguese-American communities. In this survey, United States residents who are Portuguese or of Portuguese descent are asked to complete a questionnaire that asks about their demographic and socioeconomic characteristics as well as their community concerns. The first edition in 2017 was successful not only in terms of participation but in that it informed the agenda of the Inaugural Portuguese-American National Conference in Washington, D.C. in June of 2018.

It will take approximately 15 minutes to complete the questionnaire. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary but very necessary and appreciated. It is important for us to learn your opinions.

Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Design and analysis is provided by Dulce Maria Scott, PhD, PALCUS Research Consultant and Professor of Sociology and Criminal Justice, Anderson University, Anderson, IN.
