Brooklyn Community Foundation is on a mission to spark lasting social change, mobilizing people, capital and expertise for a fair and just Brooklyn.

Our Vision
A fair and just Brooklyn, built on dignity and respect, where all residents have the opportunity to participate and prosper.

Our Values
Five core values guide everything we do:

Courage. We believe in fearlessly identifying barriers to change and we fight for solutions that help overcome injustice.

Creativity. We believe that the power of imagination is greater than the challenges we face. We celebrate what works. We pursue the new. We learn as much from failure as we do from success.

Honesty. We are committed to being open and trustworthy in all we do and seek partners who share our values.

Collaboration. We believe in creating solutions together, harnessing the diversity of Brooklyn, and partnering with the community to spark change and produce results.

Respect. We believe in every resident’s dignity and basic human rights, and honor diversity of race, gender and background.
