Corporate Council
A growing community of New York City businesses across industries, united by a shared commitment to advancing economic mobility and reducing poverty across New York City. For any company with a NYC presence, the Council is an essential way to show up for the city — channeling collective corporate investment toward New York’s most effective poverty-fighting organizations through an annual membership of $10,000. Spanning a diverse range of sectors, the Council reflects the breadth of New York’s business community and the belief that reducing poverty is everyone’s responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why join the Robin Hood Corporate Council?
When your company joins the Robin Hood Corporate Council, your membership is directed entirely toward fighting poverty in the same city where your employees live, commute, raise families, and build careers. New York City is home — to your business, your workforce, and to 2.2 million of your neighbors living below the poverty line. Corporate Council membership is one of the most direct ways a company can invest in the health and vitality of that shared city. Robin Hood has deployed over $3 billion since 1988 to fund the most effective poverty-fighting organizations across all five boroughs — in child care, housing, jobs, education, and health care. Your membership contributes to that work. And because Robin Hood’s board covers 100% of our operating costs, every dollar of your membership goes directly to the programs and people who need it most.
