<h2>Bridge Foundry is working to improve the state of tech, especially for humans.</h2>
23+
<p>Technology gets better with more diversity. So we help organizations who train, mentor, and encourage diverse groups of
24+
people to get involved in technology.</p>
25+
<p>Does your organization need help fundraising or organizing events?
26+
Bridge Foundry is a project of <a href="http://schoolfactory.org/">School Factory</a>, and can help you
27+
accept tax-deductible donations. We also have a lot of experience
28+
teaching, mentoring, organizing, and having fun, and we love to share
29+
our expertise, so drop us a line!</p>

<h2>About Bridge Foundry</h2>
36+
<p>
37+
Bridge Foundry was formed in late 2012 by the people who make <a href="http://www.railsbridge.org">RailsBridge</a> workshops happen.
38+
We'd been thinking about pursuing 501(c)3 non-profit status, and after some research into
39+
the mountains of paperwork and infrastructure required, chose to find a fiscal sponsor instead.
40+
(In the United States, a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiscal_sponsorship">fiscal sponsor</a> is a non-profit that extends its tax-exempt status to
41+
partner organizations.)</p>
42+
43+
<p>Rather than just securing non-profit status for RailsBridge, we realized we had an opportunity to help other
44+
organizations that are doing similar work in a variety of tech communities. And so Bridge Foundry was born:
45+
a parent organization that RailsBridge could create for itself and other groups.</p>
46+
47+
<p>School Factory's mission is to transform education,
48+
and two of the ways they do that is through the <a href="http://schoolfactory.org/spacefed">Space Federation</a>
49+
, a collection of hacker and maker spaces,
50+
and through <a href="http://schoolfactory.org/node/5">Emergentcy Schools</a>, "programs that engage people in the creation of communities of practice &mdash; focused on a culture of creativity, constructivism, and project-based learning." School Factory's executive director James Carlson
51+
is helping Bridge Foundry establish its long-term goals as well as providing the non-profit status that will
52+
help smaller groups accept tax-deductible donations.</p>

<h2>Helping!</h2>
61+
<p>Bridge Foundry is a 100% volunteer effort, and we can always use donations of time, treasure, or talent.
62+
If you're interested in helping, please drop us a line at [email address].</p>
63+
<p>We're especially interested in making connections with groups that are working to make tech a better industry
64+
and could benefit from our tax-exempt status. [how to get in touch]</p>

<p>We currently work with:</p>
66+
<ul>
67+
<li><a href="http://www.railsbridge.org">RailsBridge</a></li>
68+
<li><a href="http://www.railsmentors.org/">Rails Mentors</a></li>

77+
<h2>Processes</h2>
78+
<p>Working with Bridge Foundry means that donations are made directly to School Factory (usually by check or PayPal),
79+
and that the School Factory staff then works with the individual group to distribute the funds as needed.</p>
80+
<p>RailsBridge, which puts on free Rails workshops, has published their policies <a href="https://github.com/railsbridge/docs/wiki/Money-Things">
81+
on their wiki</a>. If your organization
82+
could benefit from a similar set up, please get in touch! [ + how to get in touch]</p>
