Brooklyn Community Foundation is the first and only public foundation solely dedicated to Brooklyn’s charitable community, working in partnership with generous donors and community leaders to invest in racial justice and community-led change. Since our founding in 2009, the Foundation has provided over $90 million in grants to nonprofits through our Community Fund and Donor Advised Fund programs. We believe that all people should be equally seen, heard, valued, and respected. Our goal is racial justice, which we define as the systemic redistribution of power, opportunities, and access in order to achieve a society free of racial hierarchies. Through our investments in community-based programs and community-led advocacy for social change, we aim to increase the ability of Black, Indigenous, and all people of color to determine and sustain a fair and just future for themselves and their communities.
