What JustGive does

Charity Bridge Fund, formerly operating as JustGive since 1999, is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization that runs a digital charitable giving platform connecting individual donors with nonprofit organizations facing urgent funding gaps. The platform positions itself as a direct, nonpartisan intermediary in response to federal funding cuts that have simultaneously increased service demand and reduced nonprofit resources, with particular focus on food banks, housing programs, international aid, and healthcare organizations.

The platform is built around five functional modules: a Browse Causes directory, Featured Projects (monthly curated urgent-need programs), The Bridge Fund (a pooled giving initiative directing aggregated donations to vetted nonprofits in hunger relief, housing, and healthcare), a Matching Gifts Program that doubles donor contributions, and an Impact Reporting module publishing research and media coverage on the effects of federal funding cuts. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the charitybridgefund.org website, with no native mobile application. Technology description does not reference AI/ML, APIs, or proprietary algorithms beyond a standard browse/search and donation processing architecture.

The business model is structured as a fee-free charitable intermediary: no platform fees are charged to donors or nonprofits, which differentiates the organization from commercial giving platforms. As a 501(c)(3), Charity Bridge Fund does not generate transaction-based revenue but is instead funded through its own charitable contributions and grants. The organization is small (11-50 employees), headquartered at 10 Old Easton Tpke, Weston, CT, and led by Founder and Executive Director Kendall Webb with Douglas P. Feick serving as Chairman of the Board.
