Description

Join us to officially kick-off the year's biggest celebration of giving as we aim to raise $1 million for 100+ Brooklyn nonprofits in just 24 hours!

Celebrated annually on Giving Tuesday—the Tuesday after Thanksgiving— #BrooklynGives is our borough's first 24-hour giving day, an opportunity for everyone who calls Brooklyn home to come together to support nonprofit organizations that make our communities great.

This "pep rally meets TED talk" will feature Brooklyn civic and nonprofit leaders in conversation about how local nonprofit organizations are the backbone of Brooklyn's communities, strengthening the lives of residents while developing innovative new approaches.

Don't miss this opportunity to discover great local nonprofits, learn more about exciting work right in your own backyard, and new ways to give back to Brooklyn!
