Announcing The Brooklyn Org 25

We’re thrilled to announce this year’s Brooklyn Org 25—an annual recognition of our borough’s dedicated leaders, at our Brooklyn Org Changemakers Ball. This year’s cohort is organized around three urgent issues impacting our borough—Families, Health & Well-Being, and Housing—and showcases the breadth and creativity of nonprofit leadership across our communities.

Join us in congratulating these 25 leaders creating real change in every neighborhood and on every issue:

We are proud to honor their tireless efforts and hope you will join us to celebrate their work on Wednesday, October 29, 2025 at the Brooklyn Org Changemakers Ball! The program will include storytelling from three BKO 25 members, who will share their powerful stories from the field:

The Brooklyn Org 25 embodies the spirit of the Brooklyn Org Changemakers Ball, which celebrates the joy and determination of our communities. At Brooklyn Org, we believe that Brooklyn’s success is built on the strength of our people. This year’s theme, Brooklyn Backs Brooklyn, is both a rallying cry and a commitment—to show up for our neighbors, to invest in grassroots solutions, and to meet this moment with bold, hyper-local action.

Your gift will help fuel Brooklyn Org’s $5 million annual investment in addressing the top challenges impacting our neighbors right now, via the work of vital frontline nonprofits.

The Brooklyn Org 25 is made possible through the generous support of Stardust.

We look forward to celebrating with you!
