Bridge of Hope 2026 Core Value Award nominations are open! 

Submit a Nomination

Bridge of Hope’s Core Values are the heart of our work. These guiding principles shape how we make decisions, interact with the families we serve, our Neighboring Volunteers, partners and with one another. Just as our mission explains why we exist, our Core Values show how we live out our work. 

Through a special peer nomination, you can honor a staff or board member who goes above and beyond in living out our Core Values. This year we’re highlighting our Core Value of Following Jesus. 

  • As our example in embodying love and holding out hope to homeless families. 
  • As we engage in mutual relationships with vulnerable families in a way that offers dignity, respect and lasting impact. 
  • Recognizing our triune God as our life source and depending on prayer to empower us to fulfill God’s purposes through Bridge of Hope. 

Who do you know in your own Bridge of Hope location or across the network who should be recognized for their commitment to following Jesus?  

  • Nominate a staff or board member from any Bridge of Hope Affiliate, Program Site or OneChurch location and let us know why they should be the 2026 Bridge of Hope Core Value Award recipient! 
  • The individual with the most peer nominations will receive a $250 Gift Card and will be honored at the Benchmark Awards Ceremony during our National Conference, September 30-October 2.  
  • PLEASE NOTE: Bridge of Hope National Board Members and National Staff are not eligible for nomination. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate peers across the network who consistently live out this value by sharing Christ’s love, extending hope to families, building relationships marked by dignity, and depending on God through prayer. 

Nominations can be submitted HERE through end of day Friday, September 18, 2026.
