Community Builders - Sustaining Giving Society

You ensure that dignity, opportunity, and essential needs are not lost – that everyone in our community is met with compassion, generosity, and care.

Invest in making your community stronger!

Join as a Community Builder

When you stand with families as they overcome homelessness and rebuild their lives, you become part of something transformational.

By becoming a Community Builder, you’re joining a long-standing tradition of neighbors helping neighbors. Our community is strong when every family has the opportunity to thrive.

Become a Community Builder Today!

Join or increase your recurring gift before October 31, 2025 and your gift will be matched for the rest of the year up to $15,000.

Why Now?

You see it happening, rapid changes hitting our most vulnerable neighbors — families navigating homelessness, children in food-insecure households, and women seeking safety from abuse. You have the power to respond with hope and action.

As a Community Builder you ensure that dignity, opportunity, and essential needs are not lost – that everyone in our community is met with compassion, generosity, and care. Monthly or quarterly donations provide stability and allow us to serve more children, more families, and create a stronger community for all.

Your recurring gift today matters:

  • $15 a month gives a child facing homelessness tutoring and mentoring to achieve academic success
  • $35 a month gives a night of safe housing to a family
  • $55 a month offers a full career assessment to help a mom or dad define their future
  • $105 a month provides a full day of housing, education and employment services to a family

Community Builders are the backbone of Bridge Communities, helping to provide families with transitional housing, mentoring, career counseling, and tutoring to meet their goals and to become self-sufficient.
