Join the Great Give – May 6-7
Bridges is participating in The Great Give, an online fundraising event sponsored by Community Foundation for Greater New Haven on May 6-7, 2026.
Your support of Bridges during The Great Give will help individuals and families in our community find a path forward from anxiety, depression, alcohol or opioid addictions by accessing our mental health and substance abuse services. Help us reach our fundraising goal of $3,600 in 36 hours!
Wondering how you can help? GET INVOLVED!
When you visit our Great Give page, you can help in any of 4 WAYS:
Donate — This year, a generous supporter is matching donations of up to $1,000, doubling your impact. Additionally, gifts of any size made during this 36-hr period are eligible for a prorated portion of the $100,000 match pool!
Help us win bonus prizes — Time Your Gift! By donating during key challenge hours, you can boost the impact of your gift and help Bridges compete for extra prize money through The Great Give! These time slots are your chance to multiply your support with no extra cost to you. Mark your calendar and give during these crucial challenge times:

- May 6th | 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM
- May 7th | 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
