The Bridgeway Foundation and their Philanthropic Goals
The Bridgeway Foundation is a private foundation based in the United States, established with the aim of ending and preventing mass atrocities. They have focused their efforts on Central Africa for the past 15 years, particularly on the ADF and the Islamic State DRC. The foundation has two parts: a programming side that focuses on promoting defections, de-radicalization, and reintegration, and a research and analysis side, which played a key role in the recent groundbreaking report on the funding behind the Islamic State's Central Africa Province.
