1.8 million New Yorkers are living in poverty. That's more than the populations of Atlanta, Boston and Denver combined. They struggle with the rising costs of food and housing, while finding few opportunities for adequate health care, quality education and secure employment.

Robin Hood is the largest private poverty-fighting organization in New York City. In our 23-year history we've distributed over $1 billion to organizations that can prove they have a positive impact on the lives of low-income New Yorkers.

Robin Hood feeds, guides, heals, nurtures, shelters, teaches and trains. We are New York City's largest private funder of food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, job training programs and public charter schools. Our board pays all administrative and fundraising costs, so 100 percent of donations goes directly to helping New Yorkers in need build better lives.
