What Digital Bridge Inc does
Mission
To accomplish our mission, we help people and organizations to repurpose their used technological assets by redistributing them to those in need. Based in Milwaukee, WI, we work with partnering nonprofits and nongovernmental organizations to provide affordable technology to low-income households, set up computer labs for the communities that need them, and to help our partners who are already doing good work to further their missions and create a lasting legacy, all using refurbished technology.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
In 2023 Digital Bridge refurbished and distributed over 4,000 devices around Wisconsin and the U.S. continuing our work on a grant received through the WI DOA and United Way to distribute 6,000 devices to low-income families in the Greater Milwaukee and Waukesha counties. We have continued to have an international impact as well through our local partners doing great work in less developed parts of the world, helping them establish computer labs that will have a lasting impact. We expanded our corporate donor base through our corporate IT Asset Disposition Services, allowing us to have an even greater impact in the coming years. We have expanded our e-waste services to cover our donor locations across the midwest in addition to offering shipping and logistics for locations across the country. We Diverted 300,000 Lbs of ewaste from landfills. Our NAID Certified Team securely destroyed the Data on 14,860 Drives. Our team has been working closely with the state broadband office and other partners to prepare for the best use of federal funding of Digital Inclusion efforts starting in 2024.

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 2020 to 2021, from $162k to $400k (+147%).
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 0% · 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2020 12% · 2021 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
37% of DIGITAL BRIDGE INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (61% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $31k → $107k.
3 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 73% 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 DIGITAL BRIDGE INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
DIGITAL BRIDGE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
73% 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 DIGITAL BRIDGE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 97% · 2023 59% — 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.
Where its funders are
73% of DIGITAL BRIDGE INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $49k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Wisconsin funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $133k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
