What Bridge House Corporation does
Mission
The mission of bridge house / grace house is to provide gender sensitive treatment to men and women who have become dependent on alcohol or drugs so that they may lead sober and productive lives. Long-term residential services are offered in an atmosphere that promotes dignity, honor and respect. These services are offered regardless of one's ability to pay. In 2025, we provided services to 386 men and 279 women.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Bridge house-grace house is the largest residential substance abuse treatment facility in the greater new orleans area that provides gender sensitive, long-term residential substance abuse treatment to men and women who are unable to afford these services in conventional ways. The individuals we treat are either homeless, indigent, uninsured and/or unemployed. Over 95% of those admitted meet the criteria of living below the federal poverty level. Of the 665 men and women provided services in 2025, 81.5% had a co-occurring mental health disorder and 74% were homeless. Those entering treatment had been arrested an average of 9.5 times. In order for addiction treatment to be effective, bridge house-grace house believes in treating the whole person including co-occurring mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety. Our long-term residential program offers residents who are prone to chronic relapse the opportunity to examine the root causes of their behavior in order that they may learn the tools for lasting recovery. The goals of our residents as they successfully transition from our programs are that they are clean and sober, have established a solid foundation in recovery…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $30M to $26M (−12%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 8% · 2018 6% · 2019 3% · 2020 4% · 2021 18% · 2022 7% · 2023 8% · 2024 7% · 2025 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
55% of BRIDGE HOUSE CORPORATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 26 funders to 31 funders, grant income fell $609k → $603k.
10 of 77 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 34% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of BRIDGE HOUSE CORPORATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 77 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
BRIDGE HOUSE CORPORATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
37% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund BRIDGE HOUSE CORPORATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 31% · 2018 46% · 2019 49% · 2020 27% · 2021 30% · 2022 27% · 2023 27% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
57% of BRIDGE HOUSE CORPORATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 64% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
85% of BRIDGE HOUSE CORPORATION's grant income comes from Louisiana funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.1M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
