What The Neighborhood An Urban Center for Jewish Life does
Mission
The Neighborhood is working to build a new model of a community and cultural center in Brooklyn, New York. We will be a gathering place for local Jewish groups and organizations that dont have their own space.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Brooklyn Urban Center - In our 3rd year of pop-up programming we held 51 events based in Brooklyn, with over 5200 audience members. Events featured local and international speakers, artists, chefs, and creative people exploring the diversity of Jewish life in Brooklyn and beyond. We partnered with 46 different organizations, building a vast web of local relationships. The Neighborhood has recently begun negotiations on a location in North Brooklyn, bringing us closer to our dream of having our own venue.

The organization over time

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $5k to $789k (+14494%).
