Overview

Mission

The Bridge of Lawrence exists to positively impact school-aged children and their families by providing mentoring and community enrichment opportunities in Lawrence KS and Douglas County KS.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Bridge of Lawrence mentored 11 children in Lawrence KS schools and did multiple community events to support connection with students and their families including an Easter Egg Hunt attended by 25 a Trunk-or-Treat attended by 200 as well as helping in several school events at Woodlawn Elementary including serving food at a back-to-school event and volunteering at a school fundraiser and family event. Mentors in our school mentoring program Lunch Buddies have attended concerts and family days of children to be there for them when sometimes parents cannot.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 80% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
