What it reported doing in 2025
Three to four times a week, blomagainbklyn repurposes donated flowers from local supermarkets, florists, weddings, corporate events and other sources and upcycles these flowers into arrangements that are delivered to those in need among brooklyn's most vulnerable populations to help break isolation and loneliness. These include homebound senios, nursing home residents, seniors, trauma and homeless survivors, new immigrants, healthcare workers, frontliners and others. Flower arrangements are delivered to over 1,200 recipients each month.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
