CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments


Having experienced some devastating financial losses in the early months of the pandemic, Bridges for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing remained committed to serving our community. We did not scale back a single program or service. In fact, we expanded the depth and reach of our programs, and as the year progressed, we were fortunate to experience a strong recovery. Our 2021-22 budget reflects our commitment to growth through the investment of reserves in further growth.

Bridges continue to maintain sound finances through revenue diversification, cash reserves, and vigilant attention. With a steady and growing revenue stream through interpretation services, Bridges has worked to expand and deepen our more traditional fundraising efforts, demonstrating steady growth over the last five years in income from events and grants.
