 WHAT IS THE BRIDGE BUILDERS ASSISTANCE FUND?
We work with a diverse array of partners and projects, all of which fall under the basic categories of health and education. This means our projects can range from classroom construction to health education to the equipping of community libraries. We hand select each project and carefully oversee all details regarding funding and accounting, taking extra steps both to promote sustainability and to avoid dependency. Our mission is accomplished through partnerships with nationals and other development/mission agencies. We offer financial assistance, but also encourage creative programming, assist with project design when solicited, and evaluate project results.
WHAT MAKES THE ASSISTANCE FUND UNIQUE?
The Assistance Fund is unique for two important reasons. First, the Assistance Fund is operated by an all-volunteer staff. This means that donations are maximized and the greatest possible percentage of all donated monies goes directly into community development projects. Funds destined for projects go neither to salaries, nor superfluous administrative or programming costs. Second, it adheres to the same sustainable development principles as does Bridge Builders, Inc. A sound philosophy of sustainable development means that your donation will have the greatest long-term impact possible, building necessary infrastructure for important local projects, not painting the same wall again for the 10th time. These qualities ensure that your donation makes the greatest impact possible.

WHAT DO WE DO?
The Assistance Fund funnels much needed funds from donors in the US to community development projects throughout the Americas. We act as a consulting body both for donors and recipients, working to ensure the greatest possible positive impact in the projects we partner with. We raise funds by means of individual and corporate donors, select specific projects where those funds will be dispersed, and oversee the entire process, from initial proposal to the final accounting.
