The Bridgespan Group

bridgespan.org

The Bridgespan Group is a global nonprofit organization that collaborates with mission-driven leaders, organizations, and philanthropists to break cycles of poverty and dramatically improve the quality of life for those in need. We are passionate about helping to find solutions to ensure equal opportunity and core human and civil rights. To achieve these objectives, we concentrate our efforts on four broad fields: education; children, youth, and families; public health; and global development. Our services include consulting to nonprofits and philanthropists, leadership development support, and developing and sharing insights—all with the goal of scaling social impact. What we learn from collaborating closely with social sector leaders, complemented by rigorous research, we share broadly to advance social change. The "bridge" in Bridgespan denotes our ability to connect and learn from the social and business sectors, donors and grantees, and ideas and practice. We pursue this work with humility, rigor, and focus on impact; and with a staff that is both exceptionally talented and deeply experienced in the social sector. The Bridgespan Group was incubated in Bain & Company, Inc., a global business consulting firm, and the two firms continue to maintain a close relationship.
