Overview

Mission

To provide a supportive environment where foster families, biological families, and the children they love and service may work toward healing from painful pasts through faith and friendship.

What it reported doing in 2025

Bridge Resource Home Placement: Program provides foster care placement services including recruitment, home assessments, training and support services for foster parents and children in placements. During 2025 the agency recruited and trained 27 families. At the end of 2025, there were 49 certified families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 84% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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 program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and a relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
