The Future of Bridge

The Future of Bridge initiative encourages innovative organizers to design and implement ways to attract new players to the fun of contract bridge in face-to-face settings.

The Future of Bridge program seeks creative teachers, club managers, game directors and others who offer testable models for bringing a fresh generation of players into the game. Using seed funding and soft logistical support, the Future of Bridge is especially focused on discovering organizers who can draw youth and young adults into live bridge events.

The Future of Bridge is a project of the Foundation for the Preservation and Advancement of Bridge (FPAB), a 501(c)3 organization.
