Vision
Humbled by Jesus’ life, we envision a bold philanthropy that stretches the ability of people and organizations to learn and serve at the margins.


Mission
Bridgeway Foundation will stimulate innovation within the social sector and strengthen organizations’ capacities to serve in Canada and the world. This will be accomplished through careful financial and relational partnerships with other risk-taking donors and charities to sow seeds of transformation in communities.

Values
Bridgeway's values guided in the development of our vision and mission statements.  We hold the following values that we desire will characterize our organization:

• Christian: As Christians, we believe we need to live out our faith with not just words, but actions.
• Transformational: We seek to advance clear and compelling positive changes that extend to all aspects of society, including both spiritual and social change.
• Entrepreneurial: We believe non-profit organizations can learn from innovative business practices to achieve excellence.
• Transparent: Though we are a private family foundation, we believe we have a public duty to model openness regarding our grantmaking decisions and the resulting impact of our philanthropy.

A word on faith...
Far from being a privatized expression of one's religious sentiments, personal beliefs can play a positive, active role in societies around the world, including Canada.  Faith - or the lack of faith - weaves its expression through all that we do.  It must do so, however, in an appropriate fashion which respects alternative points of view.  Bridgeway seeks projects which engage in public, relevant expressions of the Christian faith, and/or explore how this faith positively contributes to the greater social good for all people.
