Established in the United States in 1996, The Bridge Fund supports projects in Tibetan areas of China. TBF functions as both a grant maker and an implementing agency, working in partnership with local communities, government bureaus, and other INGOs. Programs reach roughly 50 counties and 70 townships in Qinghai, Sichuan, the Tibet Autonomous Region, Gansu, and Yunnan. The organization has branch offices in Chengdu, Lhasa, and Xining.
More than half of The Bridge Fund’s investment to date has been in community-based projects initiated and implemented at the township and village level.Grants have supported the construction and improvement of several rural schools and clinics; village water supply and sanitation; livestock microlending for nomad households; cultural heritage sites restoration; and community based reforestation and revegetation.
The Fund also supports a number of overarching programmes that cut across regions, including a domestic scholarship programme; a local NGO development training and capacity building programme; three English language training programmes; teacher training programmes; business management training programmes for small-medium size enterprises; vocational training programmes; a veterinary training programme; and an educational and rare text publication programme.
The Bridge Fund’s income comes from private donors, along with grants from the United States and European governments, private and corporate foundations.
