About Charity Bridge Fund
Charity Bridge Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit giving platform connecting donors with nonprofits facing critical funding gaps. Building on more than 25 years of experience as JustGive, we provide a nonpartisan resource where donors can understand emerging needs, discover nonprofits and give where their support can make a difference.
Our Mission
The mission of Charity Bridge Fund is to give nonprofits a voice, connect donors to their impact, and make giving our shared purpose.
Why Charity Bridge Fund Was Created
We bring nonprofit funding gaps, community impact and giving opportunities together in one place, helping donors understand where support is needed and nonprofits reach people who want to make a difference.
Our History
Charity Bridge Fund builds on the legacy of JustGive, one of the early pioneers in online charitable giving. Founded in 1999, JustGive connected donors with nonprofits and facilitated more than $600 million in charitable giving.
Today, Charity Bridge Fund carries that experience forward with a renewed focus on helping nonprofits respond to a rapidly changing funding landscape and connecting donors with communities where their support is needed most.
How Charity Bridge Fund Works
Charity Bridge Fund brings together information about nonprofit funding needs, community impact and opportunities to give. Participating nonprofits share information about:
The programs and services facing funding gaps
Changes in government or other funding
Short- and long-term impacts on their communities
What support can help them continue
We verify participating nonprofits and review their funding needs before projects are published. Donors can then explore projects, understand the impact of funding changes and give directly through Charity Bridge Fund.
Our Core Values
We believe in the power of together. When we live our shared values, we achieve more than any one of us could alone.
Unite people for the common good.
Lead with optimism and show what’s possible.
Turn understanding into action.
Build trust through honesty and transparency.
Achieve more when we work together.
Trust & Transparency
We are committed to responsible stewardship and transparency in how Charity Bridge Fund operates. Our financial information, including annual reports and IRS Form 990 filings, is available for public review.
