The Bridge Sisters

What The Bridge Sisters does

The Bridge Sisters is a women-owned nonprofit consulting firm founded in 2020 by Lilian Medina Romero (LL.M, MPP) and Lorena Gallego (LL.M) and based in Alexandria, Virginia. The firm delivers four integrated service modules to mission-driven organizations: bilingual communications, policy analysis, outreach, and fundraising/development. Core offerings include social media management, gender-responsive and culturally competent content development, policy research and briefs, donor research, proposal development, and donor database management. The team has deep expertise in serving organizations working with migrant women, Latinas, women of color, and other vulnerable communities, with operational reach across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Latin America.

The firm's client base is concentrated in the nonprofit and social justice sector, spanning youth development (Girls Inc. of NYC), higher education (University of Maryland School of Social Work), family services (The Family Place), reproductive health (Vitala Global), religious/social justice (Catholics for Choice en Español), women's rights advocacy (Women's Ordination Conference), economic justice (Economic Vision Center), and immigration services (LEDC Metro). The business operates without proprietary technology platforms—service delivery relies on human expertise in communications, policy translation, and fundraising strategy. Revenue is generated through project-based and retainer consulting engagements with no publicly disclosed pricing, supplemented by a Social Impact Growth Fellowship program (3 months, $20/hour, 35 hours/month) that doubles as talent pipeline development.

The firm maintains a network of six strategic partners—all women-owned consulting businesses (Đen Studios, Bright Summit, Silvana Quiroz, Optunias, Lilacs On York, Take Two)—that provide specialized capacity in digital marketing, media relations, gender communications, branding, and nonprofit development. Go-to-market combines direct outreach (website, email, phone) with content marketing (bilingual blog), LinkedIn presence, and partner referrals. The company is privately held with no institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity disclosed.
