Work
Our model is simple: we give moms unconditional cash — no strings attached.
The Bridge Project is the first multi-state cash stipend program for moms and babies in the United States. The organization gives babies a better start in life by investing directly in their moms and cultivating evidence-based research, community networks, and narrative storytelling to empower mothers as changemakers and successfully advocate for policies that strengthen families from the start. Since its inception in 2021, the Bridge Project has grown to 14 states across the U.S., committing $99 million to delivering direct, unconditional cash support to over 4,450 moms and babies.

Our Core
Beliefs
Our Core Beliefs
Our Core Beliefs
01
Prevent, Don't Undo
We focus our intervention on alleviating poverty at the earliest stage, not undoing its effects later in life.
02
ROI Matters
We want every dollar to go the farthest it can to help moms and babies in need.
03
Dignity is Paramount
We trust mothers to make the best decisions for their babies with no judgment and no strings attached.
"As a mother, knowing I have this support has made such a difference—not only for me, but for my entire family. Your generosity has given me peace of mind and allowed me to focus more on being present for my baby."
