With nearly $3 billion invested in the fight against poverty, Robin Hood’s imprint can be found everywhere in NYC — in charter schools, public libraries, our public colleges, food banks, affordable housing, job training centers, and the hundreds of community-based organizations we support that bring hope to New Yorkers in need. After the pain of the pandemic, your support is fueling the revitalization of NYC. Not only are you helping to stabilize the lives of New Yorkers, but you are also creating pathways for self-determination. Together, we are building ≠ a future in which no one is left behind. While we have come a long way together, there is so much more to do. But we remain optimistic about the future because your support makes the improbable possible.
New York is a city of infinite opportunities and tremendous challenges. Foremost among those challenges is ensuring that our city lives up to its promise as a place where everyone is welcome, and where anyone can thrive. This is no small feat. All of us will need to come together if we are going to defeat poverty. And in 2023, you didn’t disappoint. I am filled with gratitude for Robin Hood Nation. Because of you, Robin Hood invested $117.6 million in 280+ organizations supporting New Yorkers in need across all five boroughs. New Yorkers have a proud history of supporting our neighbors and investing in our city. This tradition created iconic cultural institutions and universities, world-class hospitals, and a robust nonprofit social service delivery sector that is the envy of cities the world over. Since our founding in 1988, Robin Hood has not only leaned into this tradition, but we’ve transformed it. We apply a data-driven, metrics-based approach to elevate the lives of the 2 million New Yorkers who live in poverty.
