WE are BROOKLYN FRIENDS At Brooklyn Friends, we embrace a vision for children that connects learning to joy‑making, growing to risk-taking, and living to thriving. Look inside to see how you can make an impact and help realize that vision.


Giving to Brooklyn Friends School allows us to lift up our students’ learning experiences by creating innovative opportunities grounded in our Quaker values. Last year, in a most unusual year, your gift put additional technology directly into the hands of students and teachers while also updating the school’s infrastructure. School buildings and colleagues were kept safe and healthy by providing PPE and upgraded ventilation systems throughout. Every gift to Brooklyn Friends School continues to strengthen our exceptional and vibrantly diverse community of lifelong learners. We invite you to learn more about how your gift directly makes an impact. In Friendship, Crissy Cáceres, Head of School
