BrooklynCommunityFoundation

Are there other community foundations in Brooklyn?

No.  The first community foundation in the United States was established in 1914, and within five years, a movement started. Today, there are more than 700 community foundations nationwide, there has never been a community foundation focused exclusively on Brooklyn.
