3forge Partners with Robin Hood to Fight Poverty in NYC

As we deepen our relationship with Robin Hood, we'll continue to share stories about the people and programs that are making a difference.

At 3forge, we believe that businesses should play an active role in giving back to the communities where we live and work. For some time, our leadership team has been searching for a way to make a meaningful impact, and we are thrilled to announce that we've found the perfect partner: Robin Hood.

We're proud to commit to a multi-year partnership with Robin Hood, New York City's largest local poverty-fighting philanthropy. This extraordinary organization has spent decades funding, supporting, and connecting programs that create real opportunities for the 2 million New Yorkers who live in or near poverty. What sets Robin Hood apart is its relentless focus on impact‐ensuring that every dollar raised is invested directly into programs and initiatives that work.

Why Robin Hood?

Robin Hood isn't just about charity‐it's about transformation. Through innovation, collaboration and data-driven strategies, Robin Hood tackles poverty at its roots. The funds high-impact community organizations, conducts research into the causes of poverty, and scales solutions that deliver measurable results.

Its mission? To make New York City an engine of upward mobility. This resonates deeply with our team at 3forge. We know that solving systemic challenges requires more than just immediate or one off fixes. It requires innovative thought, creativity, urgency and a measurable results-focused approach‐values that we ourselves strive to embody as a company.

Robert Cooke, Founder and CTO of 3forge, highlighted the importance of local impact:

"This is an enormous honor and privilege for 3forge. New York City is more than just where we operate‐it's where our roots are. Partnering with Robin Hood allows us to give back to the community that has given so much to us. This is about investing in people, families, and neighborhoods to ensure a brighter future for everyone."

Peter Borish, co-founder of Robin Hood, said

"For over 35 years, Robin Hood has been focusing its resources on lifting vulnerable New Yorkers out of poverty Like 3forge, Robin Hood utilizes an innovative approach incorporating both data and technology. The combination of both 3forge's financial and human capital support will further Robin Hood's mission and make New York an even greater city."

Driving change together

Since its inception in 1988, Robin Hood has invested nearly $3 billion into initiatives that uplift New Yorkers out of poverty. This year alone, they've committed over $120 million to programs that provide essential services, from education to housing and workforce development. These investments change lives.

At 3forge, we're excited to be part of this mission. Our partnership with Robin Hood is more than just a donation‐it's a statement of our values and a step toward building a more equitable future for communities and individuals in New York City.

Looking ahead

This is just the beginning. As we deepen our relationship with Robin Hood, we'll continue to share stories about the people and programs that are making a difference. Working with the foundation, we hope to be able to help to ensure that New York City remains a place where everyone has the chance to thrive.
