Ways to Give

Bridges is a non-profit organization. We offer a number of ways for you to make your gift to Bridges. Choose your preferred method from among these five options.

Recognition of Your Giving Level

Your combined annual giving to The Fund for Bridges between July 1 and June 30 will dictate your giving circle. We publish the names of donors by circle in the Bridges Annual Report on Giving,  published by December of each year.

 

• Send your gift of cash, check or credit card by mail to 

• Call us with your gift. 

• We would be delighted to take your credit card information over the phone.

• Make your gift online.

 

If you’re 70.5 or older, you may be able to use the IRA charitable rollover to make a tax-free gift to Bridges. This law may allow you to transfer up to $100,000 directly to a qualified charitable organization without paying income tax on the distribution. Please consult your tax professional to determine if this makes sense for you.

The Bridges Leadership Giving Circles

Our organization is committed to partnering with families and communities to help talented youth achieve their full potential and provide opportunities that they otherwise would not have. We are a network of mentors and partner members who are experts in our respective fields that are committed to giving back to the community. Through key learning experiences and dedicated time in building relationships, we nurture young leaders that become value-driven role models. Our overall focus is the development of the whole student to become self-directed, motivated, responsible decision-makers who excel in their respective passions. We bridge the gap to succeed and prepare students for independence in college by teaching them important life skills which allow them to flourish in their collegiate lives.
