“We have long admired the team at Robin Hood for their steadfast commitment to eradicating poverty and for striving for social justice in every aspect of what they do. Their approach to working effectively from within communities made them among the first organizations we reached out to in our COVID-19 relief efforts to help get support out quickly to those who need it most. We are proud to support Robin Hood in lending a hand to those New Yorkers hit hardest by the effects of the pandemic and now to join with Robin Hood in empowering leaders of color to be change-makers in the nonprofit world through the Power Fund. SNF’s international philanthropic mission focuses on supporting collaborative and community-embedded initiatives whose benefits can multiply and ripple outward. By taking a wide view of the systemic challenges we face and seeking to address them at their core, Robin Hood is enabling durable and paradigmatic change. We are immensely grateful to Robin Hood for its work and to Wes Moore, in particular, for his incredible leadership and vision, and we are honored to work together in trying to advance equality and make essential social change.” — Andreas Dracopoulos, Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Co-President, on behalf of the whole SNF team

“As a true New Yorker, I knew when I returned to the city post-college that I wanted to maintain connectivity with the communities that helped raise me. I started volunteering with various Robin Hood partners as a first-year analyst over 10 years ago — doing school cleanup service days with Uncommon Schools, mentoring students at the Harlem Children’s Zone, food drives with the Coalition for the Homeless and City Harvest, and various other fundraising efforts. I even ran my first marathon in 2017 for Team Robin Hood and raised over $25,000 from family, friends, and colleagues. Over the last few years, I’ve continued to work with various Robin Hood partners, including Uncommon Schools New York, and officially joined the Uncommon board in 2018.” — Ann Mathews, Managing Director, Goldman Sachs
