I spend my days fighting poverty in New York City, so this time of year I get asked a lot at holiday parties what people can do to help the poor I like the question At the Robin Hood Foundation, we've spent 27 years trying to answer it
As with any complex social issue, there are myriad reasons that people are poor So we break down the problem to create short and long-term change We aim to make life better for people who are poor while at the
same time attacking the root causes of poverty Once we've identified the various needs, we use empirical data
to identify and support programs that create real results
It's a process that works for our organization, and it can work for charity-minded individuals too Getting
smart about the underlying causes of poverty will allow you to connect on a deeper level, which matters:
Donors are more likely to commit to a cause when it resonates emotionally From there, you can then do a little digging to determine which organization is worthy of your support
