What We Do
Through our Community Fund, Donor Advised Fund Program, and strategic initiatives, Brooklyn Community Foundation seeks to mobilize people, capital, and expertise for a fair and just Brooklyn.
Our unique approach has three components: first, we listen and engage the community; second, we build on what’s working, funding and supporting successful programs; third, we try new things, and when something works, we invest in its continued success.
• Collaborate with local leaders. We partner with local leaders to identify and support proven models and accelerate bold new solutions.
• Mobilize capital. We work with donors and manage resources to meet critical charitable goals and build a long-term asset base.
• Leverage expertise. We call on a vast network of experts to build on best practices and advance the thinking needed to sustain our work.
