Our Goals For 2009

After 5 years of encouraging the conversation of CSR from eth margin of business dialogue into the mainstream, the Robin Hood Foundation Board felt business was now taking up the challenge, and in many cases enthusiastically.

We've reviewed that this an objective we have to deliver on and have spent the past few months determining what the best contribution is that we can make going forward.

We're thrilled to announce that we will back one significant project per annum that creates new revenue for eth social sector. This shifts our role from being facilitators of social partnerships and collaborations to one of backing social entrepreneurism.

We have identified that for 2009 our goal is to see New Zealand's food industry get behind putting food on the table for our estimated one on five families living in poverty .

This initiative will be announced publicly February 2009.
