Mission and programs · 2025

• Publishing and Editorial Programs. Bridge published, edited, distributed, and promoted independent literary and arts content through Bridge Journal, Bridge Magazine, Bridge Books, StepSister Press, Hurm Editions, and related print and digital platforms. Activities included poetry, fiction, hybrid literary work, visual-art criticism, reviews, interviews, and artist publications. The program provided publication and editorial opportunities for writers and artists while expanding public access to contemporary cultural work through direct distribution, subscription, and national print-on-demand and book-distribution channels.

• Artist Support, Education, and Public Programs. Bridge provided artist-centered learning, professional-development, community engagement, and public cultural programming designed to expand access to creative practice and strengthen the working conditions of artists and writers. Activities included workshops, readings, discussions, interdisciplinary events, and development of Artists United, an initiative focused on creative-worker resources, financial resilience, and professional support.

• Moving-Image and Interdisciplinary Programs. Bridge developed and presented experimental film, video, performance, and interdisciplinary arts programming through Bridge Video and related public programs, including development of the Festival of Holes. The program supported independent and underrepresented moving-image artists through presentation opportunities, curatorial selection, promotion, and interdisciplinary contexts connecting film and video with visual art, performance, publishing, and criticism.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
