Groundwork Bridgeport Charity Profile

Groundwork Bridgeport is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to serving the greater Bridgeport area. Since its inception in 1998, Groundwork Bridgeport’s main goals have been to convert blighted areas of the city into gardens, parks, playgrounds, and streetscapes. The organization also strives to develop environmental education, job training, self-sufficiency, and elderly assistance programs as a means of improving the quality of life for all people in Bridgeport. Groundwork Bridgeport’s programs primarily serve and impact populations in Bridgeport that are marginalized or underprivileged. We work with community members and other organizations in order to identify services and programs that can meet the needs of our elderly neighbors, children struggling in an under-funded school system, and neighborhoods affected by crime and blight.
