More Ways to Give

There are many ways to support The Bridge beyond making a traditional donation. Explore these giving options to find what works best for you.

Give Through Your Workplace

Many employers make it easy to support organizations you care about through workplace giving programs, payroll deductions, or matching gifts. Check with your employer to see what options are available and whether your gift to The Bridge may be eligible for a company match.

Give Through Your Donor-Advised Fund

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a simple and flexible way to support The Bridge. If you have a DAF, you can recommend a grant to The Bridge Academy & Community Center through your fund provider.

(EITC) Educational Improvement Tax Credit

Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program allows eligible businesses and individuals to receive significant state tax credits while supporting educational programs at The Bridge.

The Bridge Academy & Community Center is an approved Educational Improvement Organization (EIO), which means qualifying EITC contributions directly support our approved educational programs for Coatesville students.

Give In Kind

In-kind donations help The Bridge meet practical needs throughout the year. Individuals, families, churches, businesses, and community groups can support our programs and families by donating needed items or organizing a collection drive.

Some of our ongoing and seasonal needs include:

Food
Personal care and hygiene products
Diapers and wipes
School supplies and backpacks
Christmas gifts
Program and activity supplies
Other seasonal needs

Want to organize a drive?

Hosting a collection through your church, workplace, school, family, or community group is a great way to get others involved. Our team can help identify current needs and coordinate your collection.

Have something else to give?

Our needs change throughout the year, and we’re grateful for the generosity of our community. Please contact us before collecting or dropping off items so we can make sure your donation matches a current need and coordinate a drop-off time.
