Partnerships

Community Heartbeat Foundation

Director: Mario Caggiano

Community Heartbeat Foundation is a New York-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting victims of domestic violence. Through our partnership, we organize coat drives and school supply collections to help families in need rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

Gayridge

Gayridge is a community organization celebrating and supporting LGBTQ+ life in Bay Ridge and surrounding Brooklyn neighborhoods. In November 2025, we partnered with Gayridge to host the South Boo-klyn Ball, a festive celebration bringing together neighbors for an evening of fun, music, and community connection.

NYC Parks

Through the NYC Parks Super Steward Program, we participate in Street Tree Care Days as part of the TreesLC initiative. Our volunteers learn proper tree care techniques and help maintain the urban forest that keeps our neighborhoods green, healthy, and resilient.

Friends of the Lott House

We partner with Friends of the Lott House to support cleanups at the historic Hendrick I. Lott House in Marine Park. In August 2025, we hosted an outdoor movie night at the Lott House, bringing neighbors together for a memorable evening under the stars at one of Brooklyn's oldest landmarks.

Salt Marsh Alliance

The Salt Marsh Alliance is a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and showcasing the natural environment of Marine Park through its Salt Marsh Nature Center. We partner with them on environmental education, nature walks, and conservation efforts that connect neighbors to the local flora and fauna in their own backyard.

Marine Park Alliance

The Marine Park Alliance assists NYC Parks in providing cultural, environmental, and volunteer programming in Marine Park for the health and well-being of all New Yorkers. We partner with them on volunteer service — from shoreline cleanups to native plantings — and on the community programming that brings our neighborhood together.
