ROBIN HOOD’S HEROES BREAKFAST Robin Hood’s annual Heroes Breakfast is a triumphant celebration of New Yorkers who elevated themselves and their families out of poverty — despite incredible obstacles — with the support of Robin Hood’s community partners. At this year’s event, we honored Fair Housing Justice Center, KindWork, and NYLAG, as well as three incredible individuals whose stories exemplify the impact of our nonprofit partners.

RISING LEADERS FORUM Robin Hood and Goldman Sachs hosted the first Rising Leaders Forum, designed for emerging investors and philanthropists. Over 20 speakers — including some of the most inspiring CEOs, entrepreneurs, academics, activists, and athletes — joined in conversation about their varying experiences in social impact work. Throughout the day, participants connected with like- minded peers and explored Robin Hood’s own philanthropic model.

From this forum emerged the Rising Leaders Collective (RLC), a community of changemakers and partners who are committed to making a united impact in NYC and beyond. Year-round, RLC members have opportunities to learn about Robin Hood’s work, collaborate with peers, and activate their leadership and influence through events and other poverty-fighting programming.
