the project
As you already know, our neighborhoods are changing rapidly. We need residents and business owners like you to help us improve the quality of life for all in Garfield and the surrounding neighborhoods. Community-based and board driven, the BGC is proud to have support from valued community members like you. Donate today to be part of this important work.
We continue to rely on your generosity and commitment, and appreciate your support as the BGC enters its 43rd year. Your engagement makes it possible to create physical revitalization, greater economic opportunity and a strengthened sense of social wellbeing for all our neighbors.
the steps
Your support helps the BGC provide:
Affordable Housing
Home ownership and decent rentals for community members of all backgrounds
Workforce Development for Teens & Adults
Help with job searches, resumes, interviews, and actual job placement.

The Bulletin Newspaper
Founded in 1975, The Bulletin is one of the few remaining print newspapers that engages the community to inform residents about local issues and events. The paper is directly mailed to over 14,000 homes every month.
why we're doing it
The Bloomfield-Garfield Corporation (BGC) exists to improve the quality of life for all in Garfield and surrounding neighborhoods through active community engagement. Community-based and board-driven, one of the BGC’s main goals is to get as many people in the community as possible to participate in the efforts aimed at physical revitalization, an improved economy and strengthened social well-being. Almost 70% of our core-operating budget is derived from private grants and donations, without which none of the above would be possible. Many of the programs require corporate and/or philanthropic support for their very survival. We are reaching out to you to help us continue this important community driven work.
Thank you!
