Weston, Connecticut (October 27, 2025) – Charity Bridge Fund, a new initiative from JustGive, today announced its official launch, inviting nonprofits across the U.S. that have recently experienced a loss of federal funding to join its platform. The new digital hub connects organizations affected by funding withdrawals directly with donors eager to sustain vital community programs now at risk.

Over the past year, the charitable funding landscape has shifted abruptly. Programs supporting families, children, housing, and environmental protection have faced sudden reductions in government funding, leaving critical services vulnerable. Charity Bridge Fund was created to bridge this gap, offering a transparent, data-driven way for donors to meet urgent needs and help nonprofits continue their mission-driven work.

“At its core, Charity Bridge Fund is about resilience,” said Kendall Webb, Executive Director and Founder of Charity Bridge Fund and JustGive. “Loss of federal funding doesn’t mean the mission is over. This platform ensures organizations delivering critical services can continue to thrive, even when traditional funding disappears.”

At the heart of the initiative is the first consolidated database of verified nonprofits impacted by federal funding loss. Each listing includes details about withdrawn federal grants, updated funding needs, and impact stories from the field. The database provides a transparent look at how funding losses affect real communities while offering donors and institutions an easy way to take action.

Charity Bridge Fund simplifies the giving process through a guided, data-backed experience. The platform consolidates due diligence and research from trusted partners, helping donors search by cause area and geography. Nonprofits benefit from increased visibility among individual donors, foundations, and donor-advised funds, while donors gain confidence that their contributions are reaching verified, high-impact projects.

Call for Nonprofit Partners

Charity Bridge Fund is currently welcoming nonprofits that have experienced a loss of government funding to join the platform. Early partner organizations will:

• Be featured in the national database of charities impacted by funding loss

• Gain exposure to individual and institutional donors

• Be able to share impact stories to inspire targeted giving

• Have access to matching grant opportunities tied to the launch phase

Together, Charity Bridge Fund and its nonprofit partners aim to reimagine how funding flows to the organizations that need it most, creating a stronger, more transparent ecosystem for giving that restores trust and resilience across the social sector.
