FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS AND (ARCH)DIOCESES
Bridges for Schools currently partners with schools in the Diocese of Arlington, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, and the Archdiocese of Washington, with plans to expand to other dioceses. Is your Catholic Schools Office or school interested in leveraging bilingual communications, parent engagement, professional development, or other strategies to foster belonging and inclusion? Complete our interest form to receive information on how to apply and/or bring Bridges for Schools to your diocese!
FOR FUNDERS
Funders and donors can play an active role in helping schools and dioceses across the country thrive by providing support needed to develop resources and build capacity to welcome, enroll, and engage Hispanic students in Catholic education. Crimsonbridge Foundation works with funders interested in exploring models to bring this work to their diocese. Connect with Senior Program Officer Caitlin Mayo at cmayo@crimsonbridge.org to learn more.
PARTNERING FOR IMPACT
Crimsonbridge Foundation and Connelly Foundation came together in 2023 to bring Bridges for Schools to 13 schools in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia that had recently completed the Latino Enrollment Institute at the University of Notre Dame. Using a shared grantmaking process, Crimsonbridge and Connelly have awarded $135,000 in Bridges for Schools grants.
