2025 Goals

Community Bridges is dedicated to offering exceptional services to community members living with developmental disabilities or acquired brain injuries. Our approach is person-centered to ensure those we support take the lead in pursuing a meaningful life. We look to bridge any potential barriers between those we serve and their community by partnering with the people needing support and their families.

In 2025 Community Bridges is looking to diversify revenue sources, and strengthen our workforce to support our continued effort in providing quality-added programs that may exceed the expectations of traditionally restricted funding. We are also looking to improve programs and services to ensure we are meeting the evolving needs of the people we support.

Fundraising Events:

Community Bridges will be offering donors the opportunity to support programming that builds skills in independence, advocacy and social engagement through our Annual Fundraising Campaign. This year we will be hosting our Second Annual Holiday Drive as well as participating in Giving Tuesday, the national day of giving during the holiday season. NH Gives, a 24-hour online giving drive to benefit nonprofits across New Hampshire and Granite United Way’s Annual Giving Campaign. You can also visit our website anytime at www.communitybridgesnh.org/donate to make a direct online gift, or download our donation by mail form.

Giving Opportunities

Every day is an opportunity to make a difference. Your contribution helps support the needs of community members not accessible through traditional resources. Donations towards names funds meet the specific needs of those we serve. Such as, Respite to provide temporary care for a loved one so caregivers can care for themselves. Our Home contributions provide for much needed updates and repairs to the nine homes offered through Community Bridges for medically supported housing. Unrestricted or general giving contributions support families and community members in meeting the greatest needs such as dental coverage, clothes and food.
