Established in 1998, Robin Hood focuses on poverty prevention through programs in early childhood, youth, education, jobs and economic security. It also funds basic survival programs in healthcare, hunger, housing and domestic violence. It partners with more than 240 poverty-fighting nonprofit organizations in New York City.
Fully 100 percent of donations are used to fund programs; this is facilitated by Robin Hood’s board of directors, which underwrites all of the organization's fundraising and administrative expenses.
