In celebration of Earth Day, It’s My Park! Day, Bike Month and spring planting season, Brooklyn Community Foundation and ioby are proud to announce the Brooklyn Spring Match to support Brooklyn-based environmental projects.
From April 11-May 6, the Foundation’s micro-grants program will match donations to eligible ioby Brooklyn projects dollar-for-dollar! That means a $10 donation turns into $20, $25 turns into $50 and so on up to donations of $200 until we’ve raised at total of $10,000 for these great causes.
Since 1998, the Brooklyn Community Foundation’s micro-grants program has provided $500 grants to volunteer-run Brooklyn organizations with organizational budgets less than $50,000. Many of these small grants have seeded some of today’s incredible and effective local nonprofits in Brooklyn like Added Value, the New York Writers Coalition, Girls for Gender Equity and countless others.
The Brooklyn Spring Match will help community gardens, parks, beaches and school based gardens come to life this spring and leverage the Foundation’s micro-grants program to build a network of citizen donors in Brooklyn.
