Support the Foundation

Pay for the racing, and we will do the rest

Talent is not what decides who keeps racing; money is. Our partners pay for the part that usually decides it, and we turn that money into coaching, seat time and a plan. There are four ways to help. Each one starts with a conversation, not a form.

Figures from the 2028 annual report.

  1. 01

    For companies and foundations

    Annual partners

    An annual partner funds a student’s year: the residency blocks, the equipment, the data, the coaching and the travel to the events that matter in their season.

    You will know which student your support is for, and you will hear how their year went from us, in plain language, at the end of it.

    Write to us partners@thebridgefoundation.org

  2. 02

    For manufacturers and suppliers

    Equipment and in-kind partners

    Much of what we use was supplied at cost or below it. Our sim suite exists because our simulator partner offered us its rigs at well below cost in our first year.

    We look for partners in safety kit, tyres, data systems and the many smaller things a workshop gets through. We will tell you exactly what we need and what we will do with it.

    For racing teams

    Partner teams

    The step after a year with us is usually a season with a team. Partner teams offer test days, seats for the students who are ready, and sometimes a mechanic’s time at a race we cannot cover ourselves.

    In return you get drivers who arrive prepared: they can read their own data, look after their own bodies, and tell an engineer what the car is doing.

    For individuals

    Individual giving

    We do not run a donation page. If you would like to give, write to us and we will reply in person with how to do it, and with what your gift will go towards.

    Gifts of any size are spent on the programme in the same way as everything else, and they appear in the annual report.

Come and see

The best case we can make is the workshop

We would rather show you than tell you. Partners and anyone thinking of becoming one are welcome at Bridge HQ during a residency block, to watch a session on the circuit and sit in on the telemetry review afterwards.
