That’s what friends are for.
Sponsored by the Brooklyn Chapter of The Girl Friends®, Inc., and with the generous support of others, the Brooklyn Friendship Fund has provided over 300 scholarships for college-bound Brooklyn girls.
“It is no accident that our very first virtual fundraiser will take place during Women’s History Month. We have made history as an organization and we will continue to have the courage to face any upcoming challenge that comes our way. Keep winning, keep rising, and keep creating HERstory!”
— Stacey Brewer, President, Brooklyn Friendship Fund, Inc.

Let Black Women Be Great
“During this time of increased unemployment, food insecurity and heightened awareness of racial injustice, the financial need for students of color to compete in our institutions of higher learning is even more prevalent, as they tackle remote learning and the inability to participate in the on campus experience.”
