BWI’s Successful Summer Giving Challenge
As of our July 1st deadline, BWI met our goal of inspiring at least 100 people to donate as a part of our Summer Giving Challenge! Many thanks to our donors and to the Brooklyn Community Foundation, whose generosity ensures we are able to continue training and placing hundreds of New Yorkers every year into good jobs. We are particularly proud of and grateful to our program graduates, who represented one of our most predominant groups of donors!
