Nonprofits receive unrestricted funding from Brooklyn Community Foundation
Brooklyn Community Foundation announced that Cypress Hills Child Care Corporation and the Center for Law and Social Justice have won the $100,000 Spark Prize, an unrestricted grant awarded to organizations that hope to spark change for a “fair and just Brooklyn”, as mentioned on the Brooklyn Community Foundation’s website.
Grant recipients must be based in Brooklyn, have a commitment to equity, be values-driven, and have a vision for the future. Twenty finalists are selected, and five nonprofits are then chosen by the Spark Prize Committee through a competitive application process.
Smaller organizations often are led by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color executive directors. Once the coronavirus pandemic hit, nonprofits called for support through unrestricted grantmaking and funding, trusting organizations to use the money for their needs and getting rid of the arduous administrative work organizations often face when reporting their spending. The philanthropic community then created a movement towards unrestricted funding, with Brooklyn Community Foundation, among other foundations, helping to lead that change.

Harlemites will convene with city, state and national leaders on September 20, 2022, to discuss how the lessons of the past can shape the progress that is needed now for Harlem and New York’s Black community. The inspiration for the conference, titled “Conditions in Harlem Revisited: From the 1936 Mayor’s Commission Report to Today,” is a report that was submitted to New York City Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia in the wake of civil unrest in Harlem in 1935, but not released at the time. You can attend in person or see it live streamed.
