How to Fundraise in Sunset Park, Brooklyn
Sunset Park is one of Brooklyn's most diverse, working-class neighborhoods — home to a large Latino community along Fifth Avenue, a thriving Brooklyn Chinatown along Eighth Avenue, the hilltop park with sweeping harbor views, and strong immigrant-serving and environmental-justice organizations. Those community institutions are powerful fundraising partners.
Common Sunset Park causes
- Schools & youth programs: public-school projects and after-school programs
- Immigrant community & small business: support for local families and shops
- Environmental justice & green space: waterfront, park, and garden efforts
- Mutual aid
Where to share locally
Post your donation page on Nextdoor and local Facebook groups, connect with immigrant-community and environmental-justice organizations, and share through nearby schools and churches.

A local tip
Sunset Park is multilingual. Sharing your appeal in both English and Spanish or Chinese, where relevant, will reach far more of the community.
