Robin Hood Relief Fund affiliation?

[edit]

I'm watching the 12-12-12 Concert tonight on TV where the solicited donations are going to the Robin Hood Relief Fund. If that organization is affiliated with this one (it certainly seems to be), this should be mentioned. Likewise, if they are not, that should be mentioned. I see the bare sentence that mentions the concert as though it has already taken place instead of in progress. At least in the case of Hurricane Sandy, this group provided funds for volunteer relief groups and now continues to provide funds for basic support to those that remain disjointed and disrupted from the storm. The article doesn't include this as a aspect of their mission. http://www.121212concert.org/ http://www.robinhood.org/rhsandy Thanks, Wordreader (talk) 05:54, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you have information about the Robin Hood Foundation and their activities that are supported by reference, please add it to the article. I believe the relief fund is one of their activities rather than a separate organization, and this activity is mentioned in the article. They also supplied relief for 9/11 families after that disaster. I believe they work by providing grants to non-profit groups rather than directly. Pkeets (talk) 00:25, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CRITICISM: Executive compensation is not so Robin-Hoodesque

[edit]

According to pro publica non profit explorer the Executive compensation for only 12 members of the board is more than $4m a year, for now governor of Maryland Wes Moore as the CEO it was $1m in 2020. The goals and achievements of this non profit are perfectly fine, but you might expect more decency from a organisation named after Robin Hood, when it comes to collecting money "and pass 100% of it on to the poor". So how about using 50% of the exec. compensation for the program itself?
