Walentas Family Foundation


  • About Us

    The Walentas Family Foundation is a private foundation in Brooklyn, New York, committed to supporting initiatives that further the creative, cultural, educational, and civic discourse at the core of progress and growth for New York City.

    The Walentas family founded Two Trees, the family-owned Brooklyn-based real estate development company best known for its singular role in transforming the Brooklyn neighborhood of DUMBO from a neglected industrial waterfront to a thriving mixed-use community. Our fundamental belief is that successful neighborhoods offer a wide variety of uses and attract diverse groups of people. We believe that developers have a civic responsibility to play a fundamental role in cultivating livable streetscapes because people prosper when neighborhoods bloom.
