Rising Leaders Collective
The Rising Leaders Collective (RLC) is an invitation-only learning and action cohort of emerging philanthropists who are deeply committed to growing their impact in New York City and beyond. With exclusive access to events, curated deep dives, engagement opportunities with our grantees, and more, Robin Hood’s RLC is an unstoppable force in the fight for good. Be part of the next-generation of poverty fighters today.
“I originally got involved in Robin Hood because the mission is hyper-focused—alleviating poverty in NYC—and the organization is incredibly data-driven. I’ve deepened my involvement over the last couple of years because Robin Hood delivers—the impact is tangible and measurable.” — Anna Doherty
