What The Bridge Family Resource Connector Network (Fka Building Bright Futures) does
Mission
Our mission is to bridge the gaps between community support and families in the omaha metro community. We achieve this through the bridge navigators, who provide personalized guidance to families, connecting them with community resources and building social safety nets. Our approach is family-centered, voluntary, and focused on building relationships based on mutual trust and inspired by family choices. Our goal is to establish equitable partnerships and enable families to access culturally-responsive services, guided by their own voice and choices.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The organization undertook significant program services in 2022 and 2023. In 2022, The Bridge Family Resource Connector Network (Fka Building Bright Futures) was established as a collaborative effort among omaha area school districts, local government, community nonprofits, and service providers, forming a 501(c)(3) organization. Significant planning and implentation has resulted in the organization launching its first place-based family resource centers in east and west omaha, providing navigators to assist families in autumn 2023 and, additionally incorporating the douglas county community response collaborative (dccr) in october 2023, transitioning it from a virtual resource to a network of place-based resources, further expanding its service capacity and impact.

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 2024 to 2025, from $298k to $7k (−98%).
How it's funded, over time
