About
Bloomsburg awards grants to support a wide range of high-priority community needs and initiatives.
Established in 1996 by the Town of Bloomsburg through the interest from a Federal Urban Development Grant, Bloomsburg affiliated with the Community Giving Foundation in 2018 to grow its grantmaking and impact. Today, it continues to invest in needs across Columbia County, making the community a stronger and safer place for all.
