Hello everyone, greetings from Berlin,

As June comes to a close, I’m reaching out with your monthly Bridge Fund update. We’re on the right track and now gearing up to close out this year’s fund. With two months left, this is a gentle reminder to share the link about the Fund with anyone who should be part of this journey.

I’ll be following up separately with those who intended to make payments in June.

Key Metrics

We currently have 43% of our total goal committed compared to 32% the previous month.

In June:

• We received our first €500 payment
• We secured our first organisational commitment , with an organisation pledging to donate 20% of its sales to the Bridge Fund and another US organisation (announcement attached).
• In the chart above, you can see most commitments were promised for June. I’m hoping to see major cash out in July; however if you need a different timeline, just let me know—happy to adjust

Next Steps

1. I will schedule a meeting with the organisation to clarify estimated donation amounts and payment timelines.
2. I will launch a more robust social media campaign. If you have ideas or networks that could help us reach more people, please reach out.

Big Shoutout

A few people I did not know donated after seeing my LinkedIn post and others within our circles I had not spoken to contributed proactively. This shows many of you are sharing the Bridge Fund with your friends, which is amazing. Please keep doing this.

As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
