You have been on the other side of this.
Almost everyone reading this has been let go, or was one reorganization away from it. You are back on your feet; somebody else is three weeks into the silence. Fund a month of Bridani Elite for whoever is next — a hosted résumé a hiring manager will actually read, and a receipt telling them when it's opened. One month is one sponsorship: fund several and they are claimed one at a time, by as many people as it takes. That is how we give each other a hand up when they are most vulnerable. They pay nothing.
- One month of Elite — one sponsorship
- A hand up, from one professional to the next
- A purchase, with a business receipt
Pay it forward
A month at a time, for people you'll never meet
Community, not a favor — you are removing a cost, the way you would want it removed for you.
What a sponsored month provides
A hosted résumé a hiring manager can open at a link — with a chatbot that answers their questions — their experience in plain, readable terms, a read receipt that tells them when an application was actually opened, and the whole job-search workspace behind it: an opportunity tracker, the browser extension, and interview prep. It goes to someone competent between jobs — you're removing a cost, not doing them a favor.
What you buy, and how it's spent
You buy months of Elite, and one month is one sponsorship. They go into a shared pool and are claimed one month at a time, so six months might carry one person through six or six people through one each — whatever the queue needs. Anyone claiming from this pool can take up to six months in total, one at a time, so nothing runs on indefinitely. Sponsor once, or make it recurring — renewing monthly, every six months, or yearly, at the same price, and cancel anytime. Either way it's an ordinary purchase; you'll get a standard business receipt and nothing you can write off on your taxes.
When someone claims one
We're working with partner organizations — outplacement providers, workforce boards, community groups — to get each month into the hands of the people who need it most. Because the pool is shared, your month isn't reserved for one named person; it goes to whoever needs the next one, so nothing sits idle. There may be a wait before someone takes it, and we'd rather say so than pretend it's instant.
Before you sponsor
Questions
- What am I actually buying?
- Months of Bridani Elite. One month is one sponsorship — buy five and you've funded five months, which the pool hands out one at a time. They can go to five different people.
- Who claims them?
- People recently laid off, claiming a month at a time through the public grant intake — not someone you choose or meet. Professionals doing what you did to get back on your feet. You're removing a cost, not selecting a case.
- How long does one last?
- One month, then it ends. Someone can come back for another, up to six months in total, but each is claimed separately and only when they need it. Never indefinite access.
- Can I write this off on my taxes?
- No. Bridani is not a nonprofit, so this is a regular purchase, not something you can claim on your taxes. You'll receive a standard business receipt — that's all it is.
- How soon will someone get it?
- There can be a wait. We're working with partner organizations to route each month to the people who need it most, and until one is claimed it stays in the shared pool — so a month may sit a little before someone takes it. We'd rather tell you that up front than have you expect it the same day.
- Will I be told who I helped?
- No, and nothing on Bridani will tell you. The pool is shared, so the months you funded are never tied to one named person, and everyone claiming from it stays anonymous — no names, no profiles, no introductions. Your receipt is the record of what you funded.
Give the next one a hand up.
An ordinary purchase with a standard business receipt. Fund one month or several — each is claimed on its own, by whoever needs the next one.
