2025 Year-End Giving Reminders For Our Donor Advisors

As we head towards the new year and you plant the seeds for your year-end giving, please refer to our upcoming giving deadlines and instructions for donor advisors at Brooklyn Org.

End Of Year Giving Deadlines

We strongly recommend you plan ahead and make your year-end contributions and grant recommendations as soon as possible via your fund portal. If you need support accessing or navigating the portal, please contact Donor Services at donorservices@brooklyn.org.

• Friday, December 12th: Deadline to submit final DAF grant recommendations if you would like the grant to be disbursed by the end of the year. Please note that due to grant request volume it may take approximately 10 business days to process DAF grant recommendations.
• Monday, December 29th at 5 PM: All contributions to your Donor Advised Fund must be made on or before December 29th at 5PM EST. This includes all security and transfer contributions which must also be completed by that time.
