Community

The Park Slope Civic Council promotes the health, vitality, and character of the Park Slope neighborhood.

Scholarships

Each year, the Civic Council grants a Scholarship for Community Service to one graduate of each of the three secondary schools in the John Jay High School building who are college-bound.

Grants

Our annual grants program support the many community-based organizations that contribute greatly to Park Slope’s diversity and vitality.

Ortner Awards

The Ortner Awards recognize projects that are compatible with the historic architecture of Park Slope and interventions by individuals or groups to protect the neighborhood’s historic character.

Lovgren Awards

The Civic Council’s annual awards program, named for Park Slope activist George Lovgren, honors people and organizations for their outstanding service to the community.

Winter Donation Drives

Whether it be coordinating local Toys for Tots or Winter Coat Drives, each winter we partner with other community organizations to provide joy and comfort to many hundreds of local residents.
