About

Brooklyn community foundation is on a mission to spark lasting social change, mobilizing people, capital, and expertise for a fair and just brooklyn. Through a racial justice LENS, we have a clear focus on brooklyn's most under resourced communities. We prioritize investments in bipoc-LED organizations embedded in brooklyn's lowest income communities that are dedicated to combating poverty, inequality, systemic racism, and community disinvestment. Since 2009, the foundation and its donors have provided over $100 million in grants throughout the borough, bolstering vital programs and services while responding to urgent community needs.

In care of Sarah Shannon
