IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Bridge Fund operates through partnerships with 501(c)(3) agencies and schools who come to The Bridge Fund when they cannot meet a legitimate need. Most support by The Bridge Fund goes for specific individuals and families by payment to a landlord for rent, a utility company for an overdue bill, a medical provider for treatment, etc. For some needs, such as food to school children, migrant families and seniors. The Bridge Fund directs funds (grants) specifically to the agencies listed in Part II for an agreed upon number of individuals or families and for a specified amount/product delivery. These agencies are monitored to be sure they remain 501(c)(3).
