1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

• COMMUNITY OUTREACH: IN ADDITION TO OUR SELF-PRODUCED CONCERTS, BRIDGING VOICES IS DEEPLY ENGAGED IN THE COMMUNITY, PERFORMING AT VARIOUS LOCAL AND NATIONAL EVENTS. NOTABLE PERFORMANCES INCLUDE THE PFLAG BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AND THE SINGING IN THE PORTLAND CENTER STAGE LOBBY DURING A PLAY INTERMISSION.THESE PERFORMANCES OFFER OUR YOUTH UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES TO CONNECT WITH LARGER AUDIENCES AND REPRESENT LGBTQ+ VISIBILITY AND INCLUSION. THEY ALSO PROVIDE A VITAL PLATFORM FOR EXPANDING OUR REACH AND INTRODUCING NEW COMMUNITIES TO BRIDGING VOICES. BY SHOWCASING THE TALENTS OF OUR SINGERS, WE FOSTER A BROADER SENSE OF INCLUSIVITY AND PRIDE WHILE CREATING LASTING CONNECTIONS WITH OTHER QUEER AND TRANS INDIVIDUALS AND ALLIES.

• DURING A FEW MONTHS OF FINANCIAL STRESS AND BOARD RESTRUCTURING FROM APRIL-JUNE 2025, THE LEADERSHIP TEAM MADE SURE THAT THE YOUTH AND REGULAR SUNDAY REHEARSALS WERE A PRIORITY. WE ALSO HELD A SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISER, RECRUITED 4 NEW BOARD MEMBERS AND UPDATED STAFF CONTRACTS AND BYLAWS WITH THE HELP OF OUR NEW ATTORNEY. WE HAVE COME BACK STRONGER AND WE ARE HOPEFUL FOR A SUCCESSFUL 2025-26 SEASON. OUR MEMBERS DEVELOP CONFIDENCE, LEADERSHIP SKILLS, AND AUTHENTIC SELF-EXPRESSION THROUGH THEIR TIME WITH US. MANY OF OUR SINGERS USE THEIR EXPERIENCE IN THE CHORUS AS A FOUNDATION TO GROW THEIR ORGANIZATIONAL AND LEADERSHIP ABILITIES, BECOMING STRONG ADVOCATES FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES. HERE ARE TWO RESPONSES FROM YOUTH WHEN ASKED THIS QUESTION: "HOW HAS BRIDGING VOICES INFLUENCED YOU?""IT'S GIVEN ME ANOTHER HOME AND HELPED RAISE ME INTO WHO I AM TODAY, A PROUD NON-BINARY TRANSMASCULINE HUMAN AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER, AND COULDN'T IMAGINE MYSELF AT THIS POINT WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF BRIDGING VOICES AND THE COMMUNITY IT HAS GIVEN ME." - EAST (HE/HIS)"I JOINED BRIDGING VOICES TO FIND COMMUNITY. I'VE ALWAYS STRUGGLED WITH FEELING ISOLATED, AND BRIDGING VOICES WAS A WONDERFUL WAY FOR ME TO CONNECT WITH OTHER QUEER PEOPLE IN AN ACCEPTING SPACE. I ALSO LOVE SINGING!" - ASTER (THEY/THEM)

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made
