We work through our partners—social agencies and schools—who assure the validity of the need. If they lack resources or time, or are facing a problem they're otherwise unable to handle alone, they know they can turn to The Bridge Fund. 

Because we respond electronically, more than 85% of requests are fulfilled within 24 hours. Urgent decisions can be made within hours...our record is under 20 minutes!  That means utility service can be restored, or a homeless family temporarily housed, the same day as we receive a request for help.

Fueled by a working board and caring volunteers, our low overhead model allows approximately 98% of contributions to be available for direct assistance. 

We are neighbors helping neighbors in need. Founded by Pelican Landing/Colony residents, we serve residents in the surrounding area who have nowhere else to turn.
