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. Our money supports programs and initiatives that can transform the lives and change the fates of those who battle educational failure, joblessness, teen pregnancy, abuse, AIDS, hunger and homelessness. Robin Hood finds, funds and partners with more than 200 of the most effective programs in the city's poorest neighborhoods and then provides management assistance and support services to make them even stronger. Robin Hood's board of directors pays for all administrative, fundraising and evaluation costs. That means 100 percent of donations goes directly to organizations serving the city's poor.
