Charity Bridge Fund Launches to Help Donors Support Nonprofits Facing Government Funding Loss

Weston, Connecticut (November 3, 2025) – Charity Bridge Fund, a new initiative from JustGive, announced the launch of a centralized giving platform that connects donors to nonprofits that have recently experienced a loss of critical government funding. At a time when reductions in federal and state support have put vital programs for housing, children, families, and environmental protection at risk, Charity Bridge Fund offers donors a trusted way to make a measurable difference in real time.

Charity Bridge Fund is the first resource of its kind: a national database of nonprofits impacted by funding loss. The database highlights which organizations have lost support, how much was withdrawn, and the specific projects now in jeopardy. Donors can search by cause and geography, and give directly through a streamlined donation system.

“In the 30 years I have worked in this sector, I have never seen a more pivotal moment for donors to step forward.” said Kendall Webb, founder and executive director of JustGive and Charity Bridge Fund. “Supporting these organizations now—before they are forced to scale back or close—is far more effective, and far more humane, than bearing the much greater social costs of losing these essential community services in the years ahead.”

The platform not only consolidates nonprofit needs but also provides details of the loss, impact to the project, and the risks to society stemming from the project’s loss. Sharing nonprofits’ real-time stories enables donors to clearly see where their gifts are going and the difference they’re making. By connecting individuals, foundations, and donor-advised funds, Charity Bridge Fund amplifies every contribution to create meaningful, lasting change.

“I’ve seen too many impactful charities suddenly lose funding through no fault of their own, and now they are struggling,” said Ann Hackney, an early Matching Gift Donor of Charity Bridge Fund. “These organizations are often the last lifeline for people in crisis, and they require our support. Donating to a project on Charity Bridge Fund gives me a way to help when it's needed the most and feel like I am part of the solution.”

Platform Highlights

• Centralized database of verified nonprofits that lost access to government funding
• Details on the extent of federal funding losses, the resulting impacts on program delivery, and the projected long-term risks to societal well-being.Donation capability to connect donors directly to urgent programs where their support makes immediate impact
• Multi-layered donor engagement, from small contributions to major gifts and matching funds

Every act of generosity helps bridge the gap. Charity Bridge Fund empowers donors to take immediate action, ensuring that vital community programs continue to thrive, even in the face of funding losses.
