Paul Tudor Jones sounded sentimental when he took the stage Monday night at the Robin Hood Foundation’s annual benefit. There were sprouts and blooming flowers on the giant screens as he talked about a baby the organization had supported in its early days, who’s now a father and teacher.
Poverty takes generational change, Jones, 68, mused about a mission he started 35 years ago with a few others following the stock market crash of 1987. Robin Hood has since become a national leader in the fight against poverty, spending more than $3 billion to assist hundreds of nonprofits in New York City, seed new ideas and measure impact.
