Gun violence in the United States has become a public health crisis, and leaves citizens wondering what they can do to help prevent the next tragedy. Bright Funds created the Anti-Gun Violence Fund to promote and support organizations whose missions include advocating for gun violence prevention at all levels. These pre-vetted organizations use legislative advocacy, education, research and community-based programming to enhance gun control policy while educating community members on the warning signs of a potential attack. Through a single donation to this fund you will support a group of nonprofit organizations who are doing the work to create a nation safe from the tragedy of gun violence.

Violence is escalating in Afghanistan following the Taliban takeover of the presidential palace and seizing control over the country. Bright Funds established the 2021 Afghanistan Emergency Aid Fund to support organizations working to deliver aid to areas in conflict and support displaced people in Kabul. This fund is comprised of pre-vetted nonprofits providing emergency response in the region. Through a single tax deductible donation to the Fund, you can support multiple organizations’ initiatives. We have initially selected organizations that are on the ground assisting with immediate relief needs. The composition of nonprofits in this fund is subject to change as we learn more about the needs on the ground.

Bright Funds stands in solidarity and support with Black communities across the United States. We are committed to empowering the activists, donors, companies, and nonprofits that are playing an ongoing role in ushering in a long overdue era of dignity, security, and equality to Black communities. Bright Funds has established the Black Lives Matter Fund, composed of pre-vetted nonprofits working in various areas of reform to end racial discrimination in the criminal justice system and address the overarching systemic injustices facing the Black community in every corner of society. This special Fund was created to reflect our deep belief and commitment to a world where Black lives are no longer systematically targeted, and where justice prevails. Through a single tax deductible donation to the Fund you will support a group of nonprofits that are part of the movement to fight for freedom, liberation, and justice for all Black lives.

The W.H.O. has declared COVID-19 a pandemic and public health emergency of international concern. Bright Funds has established The 2020 Coronavirus Response and Recovery Fund, comprised of pre-vetted nonprofits based in the United States providing emergency response around the world and in the US. Through a single donation to the Fund, you can support multiple organizations' initiatives to provide short-term and long-term response and recovery. Given the ever-changing nature of this pandemic and widespread impact, the composition of the nonprofits in this Fund will evolve. Generally this fund will support healthcare, medical needs, vulnerable populations, nutrition/food support at both the local and international level.

Hey all, it's that time of the year again, to celebrate my day of birth! This year, I have chosen 4 organisations that have impacted my life in one way or another and I want to gift back to them! Instead of a birthday shindig, I will also be using the money I've put away for my birthday to match up to $400 in donations you make! My goal is to hit $1000 by the end of my birthday month and I hope that you can spare some change to support those that are facing any type of insecurity right now. Thank you in advance. I'll give you a hug and a high 5 the next time I see you (=
