Brooklyn Org is proud to fund impactful work across our communities
Supports families across Brownsville through affordable housing development and early childhood programming, using public data and insights from local residents and businesses to improve the overall quality of life in the neighborhood.
Combats income-based housing discrimination with tenant-led tech tools, direct advocacy, and data analysis that hold landlords accountable and promote the rights of low-income voucher holders.
Promotes community-led sustainability, resiliency, and climate justice through community organizing, education, leadership development, and cultural and artistic expression in Sunset Park.
Builds tenant power in Brownsville and East Brooklyn by organizing residents into tenant associations, supporting eviction defense, and advancing pathways to community homeownership that helps tenants fight displacement, secure repairs, and remain in their homes.
Builds the collective power of migrants and other under-served residents through community leadership and organizing, including working with street vendors — many of whom are immigrant women — to open and run a market in Sunset Park.
Provides free civil legal services and a citywide pro bono network, helping low-income older adults in Brooklyn plan for their medical and financial futures and navigate systems that often exclude them.
Provides therapy, case management, court advocacy, and restorative justice circles as well as everyday needs like groceries, haircuts, and daily-living support in a trusted drop-in space for young men affected by gun violence and incarceration.
Combines education, the arts, and a social justice lens to preserve, document, and inspire local community engagement with the cultural center and historical site of Weeksville, one of the largest free Black communities in pre-Civil War America.
Trains young adults for careers in welding and advanced manufacturing through a paid, hands-on apprenticeship inside a professional fabrication shop.
Supported through our Brooklyn Energy Initiative, a partnership with the National Grid Foundation, focused on expanding pathways into energy careers.
Creates pathways to economic independence for women impacted by trauma and incarceration through digital literacy trainings, entrepreneurship programs, and career coaching.
