This year’s theme, Brooklyn Backs Brooklyn, is both a rallying cry and a commitment—to show up for our neighbors, to invest in grassroots solutions, and to meet this moment with bold, hyper-local action. Your gift will help fuel Brooklyn Org’s $5 million annual investment in addressing the top challenges impacting our neighbors right now, via the work of vital frontline nonprofits. That commitment feels even more urgent today, as communities across the country face mounting challenges to equity, justice, and basic rights.

The Brooklyn Org Changemakers Ball is a celebration of the people and movements shaping our borough’s future—from visionary nonprofit leaders to everyday residents building power and possibility block by block. This year, we will once again honor the Brooklyn Org 25, recognizing changemakers across Brooklyn, with a focus this year on forefront issues impacting Families, Housing, Health and Well-Being.
