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.

They are passionate about helping to find solutions to ensure equal opportunity and core human and civil rights. To achieve these objectives, they concentrate their efforts on four broad fields: education; children, youth, and families; public health; and global development.

Their services include consulting to nonprofits and philanthropists, leadership development support, and developing and sharing insights—all with the goal of scaling social impact. What they learn from collaborating closely with social sector leaders, complimented by rigorous research, they share broadly to advance social change.

The "bridge" in Bridgespan denotes their ability to connect and learn from the social and business sectors, donors and grantees, and ideas and practice. They 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.

Mission: They work to build a better world by strengthening the ability of mission-driven organizations and philanthropists to achieve breakthrough results in addressing society’s most important challenges and opportunities.

Values:

Collaboration: They work as a team within Bridgespan and with their clients. They share what they know and try to align their efforts with those of others who are dedicated to achieving social impact.

Respect: They listen to and learn from their clients, funders, and one another. They value diverse perspectives and strive to incorporate them in their work. They act with humility, certain they have as much to learn as to contribute.

Candor: Good choices are grounded in good information. They value facts and feedback, speak their minds, and understand that hard choices and difficult tradeoffs are often necessary.

Impact: They value performance and results. They set and hold themselves accountable for high standards.

Passion: They are committed to making a difference through their work. They seek to understand what can be, not simply what is.

As a mission-driven organization, Bridgespan understands the importance of their clients' values and beliefs. Their people are deeply passionate about the work they do and
the opportunity to create a better world.
