The Robin Hood Foundation is a charitable organization that addresses problems caused by poverty in New York City. The organization also donates money for disaster relief in the New York City area.
In 2010, a key supporter gave $200 to buy school supplies to every family with children on welfare in New York State.
In 2017, Robin Hood chose Wes Moore, an author and United States Army veteran, as its first Chief Executive Officer (CEO). In September 2021, Richard Buery, Jr. became the organization's new CEO.[5]
