Discover. SUPPORT. CONNECT.
At Bridge to the Heart, we believe that tzedakah should be about connection, not attention. In a world where fundraising often leans on marketing tactics, grand campaigns, and external incentives, we aim to bring the focus back to the cause itself—the work being done and the lives being impacted. We provide a direct and transparent way to discover and support Orthodox Jewish organizations. No elaborate events, no expectations—just a place to find causes that align with your values and give because you believe in their mission. With Bridge to the Heart, you can search by name, category, or location to explore organizations that matter to you. Our goal is to reshape the culture of giving, making generosity a reflection of personal conviction rather than outside influence. Tzedakah is about heart, not hype. Let’s bring it back to what truly matters.
