Robin Hood Learning + Technology Fund - Robin Hood Robin Hood Learning + Technology Fund What if every New York City student had the technology to unlock their potential? The Robin Hood Learning + Technology Fund is a collaboration among Robin Hood, Overdeck Family Foundation, and Siegel Family Endowment investing in innovations that advance achievement for students living in poverty.
The Robin Hood Learning + Technology Fund is dedicated to unlocking the potential of technology to transform learning and advance achievement for low-income students in New York City. We seed and scale bright spots of innovation in two focus areas: Computational Thinking (Elementary–Middle School): Developing problem-solving, data, and algorithmic reasoning skills so students can think, solve, and create with technology.
Blended, High-Quality, Content-Rich Literacy (K–12): Integrating technology, top-tier curriculum, and teacher support to boost reading and writing. Across both pillars, we build the research base and share learnings with the field to support replication and scale.

New York City students living in poverty too often lack access to learning that meets their needs, unlocks their potential, and prepares them for a global, tech-driven economy. The Fund brings together leading thinkers in education and technology to change that—so all students can succeed in a rapidly changing world. The Fund is a $50 million initiative powered by Robin Hood, Overdeck Family Foundation, and Siegel Family Endowment.
Together, we invest in visionary educators, curriculum providers, teacher training programs, researchers, families, and school systems to bring evidence-based innovation into classrooms. Blending technology into curriculum and classroom practice has the potential to help teachers and students get the support they need, enhancing both teaching and learning in NYC.
