Once a city on its own, Brooklyn today--home to 2.5 million people -- maintains all the assets of a major metropolis. Brooklyn's arts, parks, culture, commerce and industry are alive and well.
But Brooklyn has another side.
Brooklyn also faces the challenges a major city: illiteracy, poverty, hunger and crime cling to our diverse communities; a lack of education, of access to affordable homes and healthy foods plague our brilliant Brooklyn landscape.
The Brooklyn Community Foundation was established in 2009 to help strengthen Brooklyn's nonprofit community and encourage local giving to help contend with these critical issues facing Brooklyn's communities. We hope that you will join us in our efforts to Do Good Right Here, in Brooklyn.
In this section you'll learn more about Brooklyn and see why the Brooklyn Community Foundation is natural, necessary, timely and, yes, historic.
Created for and by girls from low-income households, the Sadie Nash Leadership Project is a unique educational leadership program which supports the intellectual and emotional development of girls at a critical stage in their lives.
100% of your donation directly supports the best ideas and programs serving Brooklyn.
