Brooklyn Community Foundation is pleased to share that our team has grown to include a number of new staff members across departments in recent months.

We are honored to help shape National Grid’s inaugural Youth Spaces Competition and celebrate the winners at a reception that was held last week at the Weeksville Heritage Center. 

We remain committed to advocating for the city to fix the payment backlog and improve its deeply flawed nonprofit contracting process.

A new study shows that white CEOs are disproportionately represented among leadership in our local nonprofit sector. But the systems that have bolstered and maintained white leadership are not immovable—and as funders, we can address them through intentional introspection and strategy.

As part of our capacity building work, we are partnering with the Association of Nonprofit Specialists and PennPac to provide brief consulting sessions to organizations working through a specific question this May. Applications are due April 14th.

Resilia, a social enterprise with offices in New Orleans and New York City, and Brooklyn Community Foundation have come together to build the capacity of a cohort of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) led and serving nonprofits in Brooklyn.
