Brooklyn Org is proud to be the fiscal sponsor for The Farragut Stakeholders Group, a team of six community-minded residents of the Farragut Houses (a public housing community in downtown Brooklyn that borders the Brooklyn Navy Yard) that provide programming, initiatives, experiences and events for the Farragut residents. They recently held their second annual College Scholarship Awards Dinner to celebrate this year’s recipients, Ashantie Howard of Medgar Evers College, Mariah Wilcher of Borough of Manhattan Community College, and Malaya Williams of Coppin State University.
