Spectrum News NY1: Brooklyn Org grants thousands to local nonprofits
Published in Spectrum News NY1
Brooklyn is home to nearly 30% of the city’s nonprofits, but a report by CUNY finds they receive less than 8% of city funding.
In an effort to support organizations across the borough, Brooklyn Org has invested more than $4 million to help racial and social justice groups grow and better serve their communities.
On Wednesday, Brooklyn Org named their 2024 Spark Prize recipients, awarding five nonprofits with $100,000 to continue their work.
Brooklyn Org’s CEO Dr. Jocelynne Rainey joined “News All Day” Wednesday to talk about this year’s recipients.
