Brooklyn Paper: Brooklyn Org survey reveals nonprofits struggling with rising costs, funding cuts and growing demand
After hearing anecdotes about financial struggles among New York City nonprofits due to federal funding cuts, Brooklyn Org — a platform for local philanthropy and advocate for Brooklyn’s nonprofit community — conducted a survey to better understand the impact on local organizations.
The “Brooklyn Backs Brooklyn – Nonprofit Survey” collected online responses from 86 nonprofits across New York City, including 62 from Brooklyn, between Sept. 22 and Oct. 10, 2025. The survey aimed to assess the current funding landscape, operational challenges and community needs.
