In 1955, a group of Holocaust survivors in Brooklyn established Guardians of the Sick based on classic Jewish communal organizational structure to provide special care and proper burial for other Holocaust survivors who were suffering from debilitating emotional and medical needs.

How is the community foundation funded?
The Brooklyn Community Foundation raises funds from individuals, corporations, other foundations and government agencies that want to work collaboratively at the local level. It began with a generous gift from the Independence Community Foundation; that gift, supports all administrative costs.
