Our ability to help New Yorkers in need depends entirely on the generosity of our donors.
We are humbled that our community of donors continues to grow. In 2015, nearly 9,000 individuals made a median donation of $150, enabling Robin Hood to fund more than 200 poverty-fighting organizations. And thanks to the generosity of our board, which covers all of Robin Hood’s operating costs, 100% of every donation went directly to fighting poverty.
Signature Events
Robin Hood Benefit
The 2015 Benefit, hosted by Robin Hood board member Katie Couric, showcased our work to aid hundreds of thousands of struggling New Yorkers and raised a record $101 million.
Robin Hood hosted three additional parties alongside the Benefit to engage the next generation of philanthropists in the battle against poverty.
