Statement On Passage of H.R. 9495
The Foundation of Our Future
On behalf of our entire organization, I can’t thank you enough for your enthusiastic welcome of our new era as Brooklyn Org — a bigger, bolder movement of champions for Brooklyn’s communities.
We’re still basking in the glow of our Changemakers Ball, an unforgettable night that brought together community members from across the borough to raise over $1 million for Brooklyn nonprofits at the frontlines of change.
And we’re thrilled that our new approach is making headlines — with coverage by the Associated Press in The Washington Post, Fortune, and many more.
As we build upon this incredible momentum, we’re so excited to partner with you to show all that we can achieve when Brooklyn Backs Brooklyn.
Brooklyn Org is really about building community. You’re really about building people.Samora Coles, Executive Director of The Alex House Project
Our new home at brooklyn.org features the stories of our nonprofit partners, including leaders at The Black Institute, Asian American Federation, and Churches United for Fair Housing and many more, sharing the powerful work made possible by BKO donors’ support.
Plus, be sure to explore our expanded Areas of Impact to discover how we’re investing holistically in solutions for Brooklyn’s communities. And don’t miss the new Nonprofit Connection — our growing directory of every nonprofit serving our borough!
The future is bright for Brooklyn, and we can’t wait to get to work.
