The Bridgespan Group

The Bridgespan Group is a global nonprofit that strives to make the world more equitable and just. Since 2000, we have had the privilege of advising and collaborating with many of the world’s most extraordinary social change leaders including philanthropists, nonprofit and NGO leaders, and impact investors. We are passionate about helping social change leaders find solutions to economic and social barriers that perpetuate inequities and prevent individuals, families, and communities from having access to opportunities they need to thrive. We use rigorous research to gain insights that help our clients solve problems and achieve their goals. Our services include strategy consulting and advising, sourcing and diligence, and leadership team support. We take what we learn from this work and build on it with original research, identifying best practices and innovative ideas to share with the social sector.

Modern Animal

At Modern Animal, we are on a mission to better the lives of animals by building a place that’s better for all of us who love them. During our collective decades in the veterinary industry, we observed numerous pain points for both pet owners and veterinary professionals, ultimately concluding that through intentional design and innovations in technology, we could deliver a better experience. Today, we have 28 clinics across Greater Los Angeles, Orange County, the San Francisco Bay Area, Dallas, Houston and Austin, which have garnered rave reviews. We have also raised capital from leading venture capital funds (including Founders Fund, True Ventures, and Upfront Ventures), which will allow us to continue to bring modern veterinary care to more practitioners and pet owners. We are a new kind of veterinary company; we believe a better one. We are just getting started, and we cannot wait to meet you.

Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches

The Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches is a statewide non-profit organization that has been providing child-care services for disadvantaged children since 1957. The cornerstone and pride of the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches is its nationally renowned network of three residential child-care campuses located throughout the state offering stable homes to needy children. The three campuses: Boys Ranch/Live Oak, Youth Villa/Bartow, and Youth Ranch/Safety Harbor employ trained and devoted professionals who nurture needy, neglected boys and girls, providing them with a needed sense of security, guidance and tenderness. Along with therapists, teachers, and many more program support staff, each campus houses several cottages staffed by full-time parents. The parents live day-to-day with their kids, instilling in them a strong work ethic, sense of responsibility, teamwork, and respect in each boy and girl. Each child is cared for through childhood into adolescence, with several scholarship programs available for the college-bound. It is hard to describe the transformation that takes place -- with the infrastructure, care, and the opportunities provided, these kids regain hope, strong values and focus, and the reality of a better life. FSYR also offers camping services programs. These include week-long overnight summer camps in three locations. "Harmony in the Streets" is a mobile day camp that travels from county to county.
