The Robin Hood Foundation

PROGRAMS
We find, fund and partner with the most effective poverty fighting programs in the city. When they work, we find ways to bring their successes to scale. When they falter, we bring in experts to fix the problem. We make grant decisions to maximize impact, much like a financial manager chooses investments to maximize profit.

LAST YEAR, ROBIN HOOD INVESTED
$132 MILLION

IN MORE THAN 200 OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE
POVERTY-FIGHTING PROGRAMS IN NYC

Robin Hood's work comes in many forms. We partner with more than 200 of the best poverty-fighting nonprofit organizations in New York City. We initiate and run projects when we see unmet community needs. And we created and operate a 9/11 Relief Fund and the Sandy Relief Fund. While there is great diversity among these programs, they all have one thing in common: they work.

EARLY CHILDHOOD
AND YOUTH

Our early childhood programs attack the toll that poverty exacts at the earliest, most crucial stage of life. These programs have remarkable records of success among the thousands of children they serve, reversing speech and language delays and ensuring that children are better prepared to learn in kindergarten and beyond.

Our work with young adults tackles the plight of disadvantaged youth who need a second chance to improve their educations and find a path to productive adulthood. We invest in a network of opportunities in the community that help disadvantaged young people get into college and complete their education, or, alternatively, show them how to avoid risks and find a path to obtaining a meaningful job.
