"The five organizations receiving the 2025 Brooklyn Org Spark Prize represent the very best of Brooklyn: they're deeply rooted in our communities, led by passionate changemakers, and working tirelessly to create a more equitable borough for all." - Dr. Jocelynne Rainey, president and CEO of Brooklyn Org.
"The Brooklyn Org Spark Prize will allow us to help transform the lives of moms who cannot fully access job opportunities or health care services and their kids who are forced to complete homework assignments on their phone all because of a lack of digital access." - Nigel Frankson, co-founder of Families in Need.
The Spark Prize has invested over $4.8 million to date in 40 winners and 160 finalists, to spotlight organizations in the borough, while emphasizing the need to provide general operating support that gives nonprofits the flexibility and resources they need to serve their communities and grow.
From expanding access to books and culinary training to providing emergency legal support and access to essential resources like food, shelter, and technology, each of this year's winners exemplify Brooklyn's spirit of innovation and commitment to justice.
