In the first half of 2025, Robin Hood increased our grantmaking by 40%—investing $49M in 114 NYC nonprofits. As federal safety nets face mounting threats, our investments help stabilize families and fuel economic mobility. https://t.co/ZpmvZTOs5L #FightPoverty (tw)

Every detail of the 2025 Robin Hood Benefit — from a stadium-style kickoff with cheerleaders and a live marching band to The Weeknd’s 96-foot stage — was designed to rally thousands of New Yorkers around one thing: fighting poverty. Nearly 1,000 crew members brought to life a sports theme grounded in belief, grit, and the power of a team. Thank you to everyone on this crew: You made every person who came through Javits feel the NYC spirit, and the power of rallying around something bigger than ourselves. This year was also our most sustainable Benefit yet — eliminating vinyl and reducing single-use materials, focusing on local sourcing to minimize trucking, composting across all catering, and reducing overall emissions by 5%. We will raise the bar even higher next year. Read more in BizBash’s behind-the-scenes spotlight on the night that proves New York wins when we fight together: (fb)
