Helping Others Help Others
Bridgespan’s mission began as—and still is—a dedication to tackling some of society’s toughest issues, including the breaking the cycle of poverty. In fact, the firm’s approach was the subject of two case studies by Harvard Business School. Their core areas of expertise include education; children, youth, and families; public health; and global development. The services that the firm extends toward these groups include consulting to nonprofits, NGOS, impact investors and philanthropists, supporting leadership development, and developing and sharing insights. Bridgespan works with social change organizations such as the Harlem Children’s Zone, UnidosUS, PolicyLink, and Janaagraha; philanthropies such as the Ford Foundation; impact investors such as TPG’s Rise Fund, Black Ambition, and the Impact Investors Council of India; and bold, collaborative initiatives such as TED’s Audacious Project, Blue Meridian Partners, and Co-Impact.
