What Bridge Meadows does
Mission
Bridge Meadows' mission is to develop and sustain supportive intergenerational communities for families of children who have experienced foster care that promotes permanency, community, and caring relationships, while offering safety and meaningful purpose in the daily lives of older adults.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
In november 2021, Bridge Meadows proudly welcomed home new residents to our third intergenerational housing community in redmond, oregon replicating our other programs in north portland and beaverton,increasing the number of children, parents, and elders to be served across three sites.Bridge Meadows offers a powerful alternative to the isolation, trauma, and adversity that too many foster youth, their adoptive families, and low- income elders endure. Our "whole community" approach leverages the power of place, permanence, and shared social purpose to improve residents' housing stability, access to health resources, educational attainment, and community connection. It begins with the grounding roots of a physical environment to call home, and this threshold to permanence sets the stage for former foster youth succeed in school, for adoptive parents to build parenting skills and stable families, and for elders of modest means to age in place and stay healthy, their lives filled with purpose. Together, all three generations build resilience and improved health and wellness.
$1,166,569 spent$156,054 earned by the program100% of program spendingSpecific resident services include case management, professional counseling, in-home support, support groups, and academic support (tutoring). Residents participate in educational workshops/sessions that target information about successful parenting, understanding trauma, physical and mental health, nutrition,exercise and healthy living. Individual, group and educational support are provided by qualified mental health professionals (qmhp). To address community building and understanding community needs, weekly social hours, monthly community check-in, and quarterly community forums are held and facilitated by staff.
Bridge Meadows partners extensively with other community groups, formally and informally. For example, kinship house assists with onsite therapeutic services for children and families, staff consultation and educational training. They also provide ongoing permanency support to ensure that families have the skills and confidence they need to address their children's unique needs and that the family as a whole needs to thrive. The Bridge Meadows community support specialist ensures residents have consistent access to address therapeutic needs as they emerge and prevent them from disrupting the trust and healthy relationships that residents have been so successful at building with each other. Services are targeted to assist residents achieving the outcomes of:*academic success of youth*housing stability for families and seniors*permanency for foster youth*increased health and well-being for youth, parents, and seniors*social cohesion of youth, parents, and seniors*resiliency of youth, parents, and seniors

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2020 to 2021, from $11M to $13M (+22%).
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: 2018 10% · 2019 23% · 2020 40% · 2021 30% · 2022 23% · 2023 42% · 2024 40%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
76% of BRIDGE MEADOWS’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 19 funders to 17 funders, grant income fell $1.5M → $470k.

How concentrated its funding is
BRIDGE MEADOWS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% 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

“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
47% of BRIDGE MEADOWS'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
BRIDGE MEADOWS draws 77% of its grant income from funders outside Oregon, across 12 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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.
