We are an outcomes-driven nonprofit community development organization serving low- to moderate-income North Brooklyn residents. We work to cultivate a community where all can thrive.
Our Beginnings
It all started in 1975 when parishioners of St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Church responded to help their neighbors after a fire destroyed a row of frame buildings on Powers Street. St. Nicks Alliance emerged at the forefront of a nationwide grassroots movement to preserve and improve neighborhoods. We haven't wavered from the heart of that mission since then.
Now and Forward
We seek to transform lives through employment, education, housing, and health care, delivering impactful services to children, adults and the elderly with the help of our strategic partners. As a civic anchor we carry out this mission within the context of building a sustainable community for all people through the arts, environmental advocacy, and urban planning.
The 5th annual North Brooklyn Touch-a-Truck fundraiser raises operating funds such as purchasing cool children's books for the BK Story Voyager! - literacy on wheels, a fun, book distribution system that supports parents and schools by infusing and promoting a passion for reading in the lives of children in particular under served communities!
