Our Donors
Brooklyn Backs Brooklyn
From monthly donations to Donor Advised Funds, Brooklyn Org supporters are champions for our communities
Our work would not be possible without the generosity and commitment of you—our donor partners. Our impact is only as strong as the collective that we build together. From long-term philanthropists to first-time givers, we have a community of donors that meets our goal of democratizing philanthropy and giving every Brooklynite a seat at the table.
From Brooklyn Org members to Donor Advisors, our community shows what it looks like when Brooklyn backs Brooklyn. We can work with you to provide tools to meaningfully engage with the most pressing issues that our communities face.
So, whether you’ve given $50 or $50,000, we greatly appreciate your trust in Brooklyn Org to put your money to work in the most effective way possible. And thank you for coming to our webinars, events, and site visits and for being a part of the foundation of our future.
