ROBIN HOOD’S MISSION IS TO ELEVATE NEW YORKERS OUT OF POVERTY
Robin Hood is New York City’s largest poverty-fighting organization.
For over thirty years, we’ve been finding, fueling and creating the most impactful and scalable solutions to lift families out of poverty in New York City. We partner with over 250 nonprofits to support food, housing, education, legal services, workforce development, and more to New Yorkers living in poverty across all five boroughs.
OUR BOARD COVERS 100% OF ALL OVERHEAD SO EVERY DOLLAR YOU DONATE GOES TO HELP NEW YORKERS IN NEED.
Our Impact
Each year, we reduce barriers to opportunities for nearly half a million New Yorkers. From keeping more than 200,000 New Yorkers from going hungry, to helping more than 10,000 of our neighbors secure jobs to helping nearly 11,000 remain stably housed and off the streets, Robin Hood is there for our neighbors.
Invest in the Best
Last year, we invested $129 million in 200 of the best poverty-fighting organizations.
Build stronger organizations
We provide grantees with assistance in management, real estate, marketing, board placement – whatever we can do to enable their success.
Be Rigorous with our Investments
Our system of metrics used to evaluate every program we fund, shows an average 12:1 return on our investments: for every dollar spent, we effectively raise the living standards for low-income New Yorkers by $12.
