Bridge Beyond is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Our organization partners with college communities, specifically student volunteers, to help advocate, assist, and advance the efforts towards helping people who experience homelessness and housing instability.

Bridge Beyond recognizes that there are a number of other organizations that have been working extensively and have spent years establishing relationships with members of the community. Rather than producing parallel efforts with these pre-existing organizations, we are working towards utilizing the college student community to help fill in the gaps in efforts towards helping people who are experiencing homelessness.

Our goals for 2024 are to expand our acute care support as well as formally establishing a chapter at the University of Pennsylvania and beginning to work in Atlantic City, NJ alongside our Stockton University branch.

What your money will go to!

Resource Bags are backpacks that contain essentials such as toiletries, socks, a Nalgene water bottle, etc. They have been distributed to local organizations focused on housing instability initiatives and directly given to those in our community experiencing homelessness. The items in our resource bags change based on the weather and as we receive more feedback from our community.
Bridge Beyond PGH is a club organization at the University of Pittsburgh. Bridge Beyond is focused on utilizing eager college students to help address gaps that community organizations face. Some of Bridge Beyond PGH's projects include community partnerships, resource bag construction, and plastic yarn making for durable mats to lay on.
General non-profit organization upkeep includes federal and state filing fees, website renewal, and office expenses. Help us to keep the lights on!
Bridge Beyond Street Medicine Outreach thanks to our collaboration with medical students and physicians from the Perelman School of Medicine, Sidney Kimmel Medical College, the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, the Lewis Katz School of Medicine, and the Drexel University College of Medicine, we are excited to continue providing acute medical care and first aid to individuals experiencing homelessness in Philadelphia. Funding helps us to purchase medical supplies for caring for individuals experiencing homelessness.
Future expansion and projects! Bridge Beyond's home base has been in Pittsburgh, but we are looking to expand to other college communities. We are also looking to pursue higher impact projects. We want to be able to address homelessness on both the immediate and systematic levels. Thanks to funding from last year we have begun to establish chapters at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and at Stockton University in Atlantic City.
