Bridge Fund - A lifeline for NGOs in an hour of need
Timely, interest-free, short-term loans to help NGOs weather short-term delays in donor disbursements, even when agreements are already signed.
The Bridge Fund was launched to ensure continuity in programs, staff retention, and operational stability. Over 28 members support the fund. Promisors voluntarily run every aspect, from due diligence to monitoring. The trust-based model changes how philanthropy works.

What moved me was seeing how even the most committed NGOs struggle when funds arrive late. The Bridge Fund is a great way of ensuring their work doesn’t pause — that passion and purpose don’t have to wait for process.
