Management Acceleration

What if every nonprofit had access to the kind of support usually reserved for the private sector? Robin Hood's Management Acceleration program levels the playing field by delivering pro bono consulting, expert-led trainings, and custom operational support to the 285+ nonprofits we fund. From financial modeling to strategic planning to executive coaching, our pro bono partners help frontline organizations build the infrastructure they need to grow their impact—and sustain it.

Poverty-fighting nonprofits like those Robin Hood funds are essential to their communities, but they often lack the resources and tools required to optimize and amplify their impact. Robin Hood’s Management Acceleration team collaborates with our grantees on key decisions and helps them build their networks, develop skills, fund capacity-building projects, and scale effective, sustainable programs.
