GoFundMe Campaign

$114,692 of our $350,000 target has been raised.

We needsto raise $300,000 to pay for urgently required repairs to the front facade of all three of the brownstone buildings. The deteriorating state of the center’s façade poses a risk to public safety. Without securing the funding soon, MTEC could risk losing the buildings. In a historically Black community facing upheaval from gentrification, cost of living increases, and other threats, MTEC represents a Black -founded, -owned, and -led institution whose mission is rooted in social justice, self-determination, and land ownership by and for the Bed-Stuy community.
