What Lifebridge Community Services Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to partner with individuals, youth, and families to improve well-being, strengthen resilience, and create a brighter future. Resilience is the process of effectively managing significant sources of stress or trauma. It's about fostering assets and resources within the individual, their life, and environment to facilitate this capacity for adaptation and 'bouncing back' in the face of adversity.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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 2017 to 2018, from $5.8M to $4.8M (−17%).
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 40% · 2018 45% · 2019 48% · 2020 46% · 2021 53% · 2022 45% · 2023 48% · 2024 50% · 2025 61%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
69% of LIFEBRIDGE COMMUNITY SERVICES INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 18 funders to 27 funders, grant income rose $2.3M → $2.6M.
9 of 66 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $527k from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest The Workplace Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money LIFEBRIDGE COMMUNITY SERVICES INC raised.
From the IRS filings of LIFEBRIDGE COMMUNITY SERVICES INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 66 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
LIFEBRIDGE COMMUNITY SERVICES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 82% of grant income and the top three 90%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
94% 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 LIFEBRIDGE COMMUNITY SERVICES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 73% · 2018 77% · 2019 82% · 2020 79% · 2021 83% · 2022 78% · 2023 81% — growing more concentrated.
“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
51% of LIFEBRIDGE COMMUNITY SERVICES INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 56% 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
98% of LIFEBRIDGE COMMUNITY SERVICES INC's grant income comes from Connecticut funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
