Robin Hood holds steadfast to a single mission: fight poverty in New York City. We believe in reducing poverty for today’s generation and preventing poverty for generations to come. Robin Hood finds, funds and partners with over 240 of the most effective schools and programs in the city’s poorest neighborhoods to save the lives and change the fates of those who battle educational failure, joblessness, teen pregnancy, abuse, AIDS, hunger and homelessness. We then provide management assistance and support services to make them even stronger. When we see unmet needs, we launch initiatives to address them. The board underwrites 100 percent of overhead, fundraising and evaluation so that every dollar donated goes directly to organizations serving families who struggle against poverty.
