BEDFORD – On Wednesday, General Motors Bedford Casting Operations presented the latest installment of its Community Impact Grants (CIG) to a local Bedford area nonprofit.
The $60,000 grant this year targeted a local nonprofit aimed at supporting STEAM education. Through the CIG program, GM facility leaders selected a local nonprofit working to address issues facing their community.
“Our Community Impact Grants directly support local nonprofits that make a real impact on the communities where our teams live and work,” said Elisha Huddleston, plant director at Bedford Casting Operations. “It’s very inspiring to our team to see the impact of these grants and the incredible work nonprofits do in our community.”
The 2025 Bedford Casting Operations nonprofit recipient is the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence County. Representatives from Bedford Casting Operations visited the organization on Wednesday to discuss their grant mission and how GM can continue to collaborate with them to impact the local community.
This is the 15th year of the CIG program, providing financial support to nonprofits across its U.S. manufacturing communities. As an organization, GM is committed to investing in the future of American manufacturing, in our workforce, and in our communities.
“We appreciate the local partnership and relationships we have to support programs like this as we work together as a community to create a stronger Bedford,” added Huddleston.
GM Bedford Casting Operations employs approximately 650 team members across three shifts and is a leader in aluminum die casting. The plant produces cylinder blocks, transmission cases, structural components, and EV drive-unit housings to support vehicles across GM’s lineup.
