The Bronx Community Foundation

The Bronx Community Foundation is the first and only community foundation solely dedicated to the Bronx, New York City. Our goal is to build an equitable, inclusive, and just Bronx with a focus on being community-driven and working with place-based organizations to realize a resilient and prosperous Bronx. We use collective impact models and assessment methods with our partners, donors, and collaborators to meet the shared outcomes of increasing economic security, advancing inclusivity and sustainability, advocating for social, economic, environmental, and racial justice, increasing access to quality education, strengthening community resiliency and vitality, accelerating innovation, and directing resources to support generational change throughout The Bronx. The Bronx Community Foundation addresses the needs and leverages the opportunities in the Bronx by cultivating community leadership and support focusing on four essential pillars: Community, Health, Economic Security and Equity & Justice.
