Create safe, healthy, and affordable housing communities where residents are empowered to grow and thrive; deliver resident programs, community development, and policy advocacy to expand access to affordable housing.
Bridge Housing Ventures Inc channels nearly all of its grantmaking into a single affiliate relationship: a 2025 grant of $20,144,694 to Bridge Housing Corporation in San Francisco to support the affiliate in providing affordable housing. That same pattern appears in the prior two years, with grants of $3,259,297 in 2023 and $1,172,545 in 2024 to the same recipient for the same purpose. The repeat support points to a funder organized around housing delivery rather than a broad grant portfolio. The foundation’s stated work centers on creating safe, healthy, and affordable housing communities where residents are empowered to grow and thrive. Its program list adds resident programs, community development, and policy advocacy for housing affordability, alongside affordable housing development. It also runs the Bridge Housing Scholarship Program, which supports BRIDGE residents pursuing post-secondary education, from skills training through doctoral study. Since 2001, that program has awarded over $3.9 million to more than 460 residents. Bridge Housing Ventures Inc also makes program-related investments and is classified as a pure DAF provider.
