About the Charity

Established in 1997 to fundraise, design, build, and manage the Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus, familiarly known as THEARC, Building Bridges' importance to the revitalization of Southeast DC cannot be overstated. Today, the campus houses over a dozen nonprofits in the arts, education, health, recreation, and workforce development fields, and Building Bridges manages two theaters, seven urban farms, a technical theater internship program, and more. It is the engine behind it all, providing nonprofit partners with space, marketing, and management free of charge, and leading projects such as the Skyland Workforce Center and the 11th Street Bridge Park, a new outdoor civic venue designed to generate economic opportunity for the surrounding communities. It�s all about making collaboration a force multiplier � addressing multiple disparities, creating better outcomes for the people THEARC serves, and equipping the residents of Wards 7 and 8 not only to survive, but to thrive.
