While Robin Hood focuses grantmaking on New York City, its influence extends well beyond. It’s pioneering use of metrics has put Robin Hood at the forefront of results-focused philanthropy, and its ability to rally New Yorkers across industries in the fight against poverty has made it a model for collaborative funding and civic influence.
