Programs
Not described on the e-filed return.
$1,429,181 spent100% of program spendingIn 2024, bcc launched the brooklyn health enterprise small business accelerator in 2024, in partnership with the department of urban policy and planning at hunter college-cuny and eleven3seven5. The accelerator offered a cohort of local, minority and women-owned businesses expert-led seminars, personalized technical assistance, and education on procurement processes. Participants also gained access to a network of professionals and procurement leaders from bcc's anchor partners. Originally designed for nine businesses, overwhelming interest and qualified applicants prompted bcc to expand the program to include 13 participants.
In 2024, bcc launched the third round of funding through its strong communities fund regranting initiative, focusing on improving maternal health in brooklyn communities. A community-led, multi-disciplinary review committee reviewed applications and awarded grants to 10 organizations committed to advancing maternal health outcomes.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $2.3M to $1.8M (−23%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 5% · 2023 27% · 2024 20%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
