Through our Brooklyn COVID-19 Response Fund, we are taking aim at the root causes of the pandemic’s disproportionate impact on Black communities and communities of color across our borough with an unprecedented five-year commitment for advocacy and social change.

Among the seven organizations we're partnering with through this groundbreaking initiative is The Black Institute, led by legendary organizer Bertha Lewis.

As Ms. Lewis shares in the video below, change does not happen overnight, and it cannot happen without investors like Brooklyn Community Foundation. Your support makes this partnership possible.

It's time for change, and change starts here.
