The 2025 Brooklyn Org Spark Breakfast celebrated five nonprofits for their significant contributions to racial justice in Brooklyn, marking the event's debut at Barclays Center. Each organization received a $100,000 grant to bolster their efforts in combating systemic inequality. Brooklyn Org's President, Jocelynne Rainey, emphasized the vital role these nonprofits play, particularly amid challenges such as federal funding freezes. The honorees work towards promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within various communities, showcasing their unwavering commitment to improving the lives of Brooklyn residents.
At a time when nonprofits have been rocked by federal funding freezes, rescinded government grants, and an onslaught of executive orders and legislation threatening our capacity to provide essential services to children, families, and older adults, these five nonprofits represent the values that unite us as Brooklynites.
Brooklyn Org is proud to honor these organizations as a sign of our unwavering commitment to supporting our Brooklyn community and the nonprofits that are the backbones of our neighborhoods.
