We believe that everyone has a role in building healthy, vibrant neighborhoods. We rely on BGC members' ideas, energy, and commitment. Our members elect our board of directors, volunteer in our community programs, participate on planning committees, and help cover the costs to keep our doors open.

Over 70% of the BGC's operating funds comes from private sources. We depend greatly on the generosity of local businesses, banks, hospitals, charitable foundations, and members to pay for the staff and facilities needed to promote long-term change in our neighborhoods.

We would like to hear from you if there is something we can do to help you in a similar mission in your neighborhood or city, or to assist us in fulfilling ours.

The current issue of The Bulletin, our monthly newspaper, can be downloaded as a pdf.
