$75 Billion In Just 2 Days

Did you know that in 2023, individuals contributed an astounding $374 billion to charitable organizations and communities of faith? Remarkably, $75 billion of that was donated in just the final two days of the year.

Year-end giving is a cornerstone of individual philanthropy, and at Brooklyn Org, we’re here to help make your giving impactful and meaningful.

As we approach a new administration, many donors are seeking both certainty and maximum impact. Studies show that understanding the impact of their contributions is the number one motivator for high-net-worth donors—followed closely by tax benefits. That’s where our Donor Advised Fund (DAF) program comes in.

A DAF is a flexible and powerful giving tool that allows you to support the causes closest to your heart while benefiting from year-end tax deductions.

By contributing as little as $5,000 before December 31, you can secure a 2024 tax deduction and lay the groundwork for lasting philanthropic impact.

The Brooklyn Org DAF program, now in its 12th year, currently has more than $66 million under management, and has distributed upwards of $52 million to nonprofits in Brooklyn and beyond over its history. It features an easy-to-use donor portal and access to our Donor Services team who, together with our program staff, can help you learn about innovative organizations right here in Brooklyn because at Brooklyn Org we are the experts on Brooklyn-based and Brooklyn-focused nonprofits.

This holiday season, we invite you to empower Brooklyn communities by establishing a DAF with Brooklyn Org. It simplifies your giving and ensures your contributions have a lasting and meaningful impact.
