Description:

Brooklyn Org funds organizations that advance racial justice and provide critical resources to communities across Brooklyn.

We fund organizations that:

• Strengthen communities via quality direct services, programming, and training
• Connect to government-managed benefits or services via culturally- and linguistically- responsive case management
• Increase rights via advocacy, coalition building, and base-building that position community members as leaders

Preference is given to organizations that:

• Respond to inequities based on race
• Understand how multiple systemic oppressions impact the lives of the people with whom they work
• Work at the community level
• Were created in direct response to a need in Brooklyn
• Emphasize systemic solutions for the issues they are working on (This is required of all organizations with budgets of over $2,000,000)
• Address trending concerns in Brooklyn informed by our community engagement work

General operating support grants provide up to $45,000 per year for up to three years.
