Partnerships Fight Poverty

At Robin Hood, we believe that one’s starting point in life shouldn’t determine their future. That’s why we forge effective institutional partnerships that help scale solutions for the two million New Yorkers living in poverty.

Corporates

What makes corporate partnerships with Robin Hood so impactful? It’s more than financial support—though that is crucial. It’s about leveraging expertise, resources, and lived experiences to create meaningful change. By connecting professionals, including those who have lived experience, with individuals currently facing these challenges, we open doors and expand horizons.

We provide ways for your employees to engage at all levels with our community partners. Whether we are organizing an impactful event or day inclusive of volunteering in the community, or connecting your employees to serve on nonprofit boards, we are able to help your people do good in New York City.

Quarterly Deep Dives

Robin Hood 101

Available as an interactive session led by Robin Hood staff or as a fireside chat with an executive team member, a 101 session is an excellent way for your employees to learn more about the landscape of poverty in NYC and how they can help fight it.

Programmatic Deep Dives

We offer sessions that are perfect for teaching your firm with one of our program officers to cover an area of interest to your firm’s philanthropic priorities or employees’ passion areas. This is a great lunch and learn opportunity for an ERG Awareness month or CSR campaign.

QUESTIONS FROM OUR PARTNERS

With Robin Hood’s Board covering all overhead costs, 100% of your donation directly supports our on-the-ground efforts.

Additionally, depending on your level of support, we can create custom portfolios and provide reporting tailored to your philanthropic priorities. These customized portfolios can be based on our programmatic areas—such as education or workforce development—special initiatives, or specific best-in-class programs, ensuring transparency and insight into your investment’s impact.
