Overview

Mission

To cultivate acceptance and inclusion through theatre.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Bridge Theatre has a mission to create unique theatrical experiences for young audiences that inspire understanding awareness and acceptance of each persons cultural history and identity in order to eliminate prejudice bullying anti-semitism and hatred. The Bridge Theatre brought The Diary of Anne Frank to over 2,600 middle and high school students in its second year of production. It also focused on a 2nd show entitled Anne and Emmett which debuted in January 2026.

Operating model

Revenue model: Donor-supported. 77% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model: Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
