Become a Bridge Builder

Make a One-Time Gift

We call the people and companies who give directly to our retreats, outside of sponsorships and grants, Bridge Builders. A one-time gift covers what makes a retreat expense-free for a First Responder and their partner: the meals, the lodging, and the weekend itself. Retreats cost attendees nothing because of gifts like these.

Pick a level below, or give any amount you choose. Every gift is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law and fully receipted.

$20 · One meal

Breakfast, lunch or dinner for a First Responder at a retreat.

Other ways to give

A monthly gift is the one we can plan a year of retreats around — the same amounts, spread across twelve months. Give monthly instead.

Stock, a qualified charitable distribution, or a donor-advised fund — here is how those work.

By check, or through Community Shares of Mid Ohio if your employer offers workplace giving.
