A Record-Breaking $16.5 Million Raised for Brooklyn in 2018

Dear Brooklyn,

Love is in the air!

Thanks to our donors and Donor Advised Fund holders, we raised a record-breaking $16.5 million in 2018 to serve our borough.

Just five years ago, we brought in less than $700,000. Because of you, we have journeyed so far in such a short time, quickly becoming Brooklyn’s go-to partner, connecting people across the borough to high impact nonprofits and changemakers.

The future for Brooklyn – and for Brooklyn’s foundation – looks brighter each day because of our growing community of generosity.

Thank you to everyone who spreads love the Brooklyn way – in the spirit of fairness, justice, and sparking lasting change.

Our love goes out especially to these partners on Valentine’s Day:
