What The Bridgeline does
Mission
The Bridgeline is an albemare county based organization dedicated to the support of adults with brain injuries, assisting them to achieve integration in the greater charlottesville community and 13 surrounding counties, and to gain personal fulfillment.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The Bridgeline provides a pre-vocational day program serving residents of charlottesville city and 13 surrounding counties. Members can learn valuable work and social skills to achieve vocational and/or independent living goals. The structure is designed to increase the independence and employability of brain injury survivors by focusing on social and behavioural and independent living skills, vocational training, and comensatory strategies. Skill training includes administrative and kitchen maintenance work, and also how to interact with co-workers, and to complete tasks. Members participate in a work unit volunteering for tasks that directly support the operation of The Bridgeline place - from participating in the hiring of staff, to advocating for brain injury services in the community, to writing a newsletter article or preparing lunch. Participants benefit from a collegial, peer relationship and through this relationship, members receive necessary support while still maintaining ownership over the planning of their service through The Bridgeline place and the course of their rehabilitation.
$128,521 spent$84,000 earned by the program17% of program spendingWithin our residential program we provide supported living in our two homes in a family-like setting, wherein persons with brain injuries who might otherwise remain dependent members in the household of their origin or as institutional clients live to the greatest degree possible as independence and self-determination toward personal growth and engaged citizenry. Staff runs households to create the maximum opportunities and address individual needs for residents and address the individual needs with the goal to transition them into independent living. To address individual needs, we offer structured activities, relevant and specific skill training and support to set achievable life goals. Residents have chosen to hold a monthly book club (memory training), manage their own library, and suggest outings. Our residents typically hold a regular job or a regular volunteer position, attend classes and cultural activities in the community, interact socially with members of other households in The Bridgeline community, travel for vacations, participate in the general upkeep of the homes in which they live, and help out at the other bridgeline homes with various things.

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 2021 to 2022, from $1.8M to $3.2M (+72%).
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: 2023 63% · 2024 36% · 2025 78%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
78% of THE BRIDGELINE’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. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income fell $5k → $3k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 71% 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 THE BRIDGELINE’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
THE BRIDGELINE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 71% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
71% 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 THE BRIDGELINE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 96% · 2021 59% · 2022 93% · 2023 95% — 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
71% of THE BRIDGELINE'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 $22k that is directly attributable, 85% of it comes from funders outside Virginia, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $56k 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.
Against its field
THE BRIDGELINE holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 4,665 health nonprofits its size.
