Activities or mission (Part I)

Empowering those who are pursuing housing stability to thrive in their homes.

  • Bridging provides families and individuals who are pursuing stable housing with quality furniture and household goods to stabilize and improve lives while effectively using community resources. Bridging serves more than 4,600 client households per year; nearly half of the people served are children.

Through the power of recycling, Bridging is able to keep approximately 10-11 million pounds of items out of the waste stream each year by distributing these items to clients or passing them along to other nonprofits and organizations that can use them.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J
