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.

World Refugee Day, recognized annually on June 20, was established by the United Nations to celebrate and honor refugees around the world. According to the UN, every minute, 20 people leave everything behind to escape war, persecution or terror. More than 80 million people around the world have fled their homes, which is just the beginning of a long and difficult journey, often involving refugee camps, abrupt relocations, family separation, and unnavigable bureaucratic processes. Through a single donation to the Fund, you can support multiple organizations working for and on behalf of refugees around the world. Join us in shining a light on the rights, needs and dreams of refugees so that everyone can not only survive, but also thrive. The composition of nonprofits in this fund is subject to change. *Fun fact: The first-ever Refugee Team competed at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. The team was comprised of athletes from Ethiopia, South Sudan, The Democratic Republic of Congo, and Syria.*

The W.H.O. has declared COVID-19 a pandemic and public health emergency of international concern. Bright Funds Foundation has established the 2020 Coronavirus Food Access Fund to support vulnerable populations in need of food access assistance during this time of crisis. 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 may evolve.

The Antiracism Fund supports organizations doing the hard, important work of advancing antiracism. The Antiracism Fund includes organizations that support efforts to advance antiracism through research, education, policy, advocacy and community outreach. These organizations promote comprehensive and fundamental societal change in order to achieve racial equity for all. “In a racist society it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist.” — Angela Davis

In our lifetime, 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer. I joined the Swim Across America community so that, together, we can change that. Last year I swam 2 miles and was able to share the accomplishment with my mother present at the event! I will be swimming swimming 2 miles (3520 yards / 3219 meters) again this year to show my support, raise awareness, and fund raise for cancer research. WE NEED TO FIND A CURE!!! I am dedicating this swim to my mother, Ursula Pugh, 6 year survivor of breast cancer and a good friends and colleagues whom we lost to cancer at the beginning of 2023: Joe Ruggiero and Bill Taylor. For my friends Gigi Madrid and Mary Ann Gottachalk Overturf whom are champions and fighters battling this disease today, and to all my family and friends that I have lost over the recent years; Ned Sexton, Tony Simpson (Throat), Malcolm Murphy (Bladder), Carol Grenier (Brain), Mr. Robinson (Pancreatic), Guy Merinac (Pancreatic), Herman Fons (Stomach), and many other countless losses. If you have any name(s) you would like for me to add to my support board, please send me them to me and I will be sure to add them! I will also send you a photo of the board at the event. If you are able, please support me by making a gift. The researchers we are funding are in our community and are the next generation of cancer pioneers. Without Swim Across America early stage funding, they are not able to conduct trials that can lead to breakthroughs that can save lives. Thank you for helping make an impact in the fight to find a cure! http://www.swimacrossamerica.org/goto/RPugh2023

Based in the North of England, and operating a network of locations offering rescue, refuge and rehabilitation to horses, ponies, donkeys and mules in need. The horse crisis in the UK in recent years has seen massive over-breeding of low value animals and a subsequent huge spike in the number of starved, diseased, neglected and abandoned horses and ponies, needing urgent help from charities. This devastating situation has been the catalyst for bringing like-minded people together under the Here4Horses banner. By donating, you are supporting their rescue/rehabilitation efforts, as well as supporting their various community outreach and legal campaigning to improve the laws (and their application) around equine care. https://here4horses.org.uk/ UK Registered Charity #: 1189709
