Brooklyn Community Foundation Revenue and Competitors

Brooklyn Community Foundation is the first and only public foundation solely dedicated to Brooklyn’s charitable community. The Foundation’s grantmaking and community leadership programs are informed by a long track record of philanthropic excellence. Since its founding in 2009, the Foundation and its donors have provided over $40 million in grants to more than 300 nonprofits throughout the borough, bolstering vital programs and services while responding to urgent community needs and opportunities to fuel community-led change. As New York City’s largest and fastest growing borough, Brooklyn is a center of vibrant culture, political power, and economic growth and innovation. Yet for all of the benefits of Brooklyn’s prosperity, nearly half of all residents live in or on the verge of poverty, setting up a defining challenge for the borough’s first community foundation.
