Funding & Financials
LifeBridge Partnership’s financial resources come from a variety of sources including our local Senate Bill 40 Boards, United Way of Greater St. Louis, private donations, foundations, and special events. Our clients also share a portion of the cost as they are able.
LifeBridge is recognized as tax exempt under Internal Revenue Service code Section 501(c)(3).
