Bridge Grades relies on funding from private citizens like you. To date, we have not taken money from organizations or foundations to maintain our full independence.
Our work is scrappy and low-budget. We have no paid staff, minimal overhead, and take pride in being resourceful. We love to work in bootstrapping mode, so every contribution makes a difference.
Donations are tax-deductible as we are a fiscally sponsored project of Mediators Foundation, which is a 501(c)(3) organization.
Thank you for your trust.
