OUR CLOSING CHAPTER
2026–2028
The Bloomfield Family Foundation Board has adopted a new strategic direction: we intend to distribute the Foundation’s remaining assets over the years 2026-2028. We have taken this decision out of our conviction that the resources entrusted to us belong in the capable, creative hands of the communities we serve.
Founded in 2000 by Margery Bloomfield and her children, the Foundation has aimed to strengthen communities by supporting organizations driving meaningful change in the fields of education, arts and humanities, medical research and public health. We carry Marge’s vision with us in this final phase and believe she would be deeply gratified by the partnerships built, the communities supported and the projects enriched.
The first tranche of our final grantmaking was distributed in the form of awards intended to sustain the work of our current grantees beyond the life of this Foundation. A number of grants were also made to organizations supported earlier in the Foundation’s history. Our grants for 2027 totalled nearly $1.1 million.
The board will resume work on its final grantmaking in early 2027. We regret that the Foundation cannot accept any letters of inquiry (LOIs) while new grant programs are in development.
