We created Robinhood Money Drills®, a first of its kind financial education program for students and student-athletes to develop the skills and confidence to manage their financial futures. This four-year program provides funding for financial education, including courses and speaker series, for students and student-athletes. Programs are in place at Coastal Carolina University, Duke University, Florida State University, Kansas State University, Texas Christian University, University of California Berkeley, University of Memphis, and West Virginia University.

Robinhood partners with the Council on Economic Education and several of its state chapters, including Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Montana, and Nebraska. We hosted Family Financial Fun Nights to help train teachers how to educate their students on personal finance and aided schools to set up in-school savings programs.

Robinhood developed a retirement education curriculum for independent workers, small business owners, and entrepreneurs. We established partnerships to serve distinct communities with this programming: Bunker Labs, an organization that supports entrepreneurs from the veteran and military spouse communities; the U.S. Black Chambers, Inc., known as the “National Voice of Black Businesses”; and Creative Ladder, a nonprofit that supports early- and mid-career creative professionals.

Robinhood was founded on the belief that everyone should be able to participate in the financial markets, developing a platform with products that enable individuals to participate in our financial system regardless of wealth, income, or background. We engage in thoughtful partnerships with organizations who are similarly committed to financial inclusion such as the National Association of Securities Professionals, National Bankers Association, and Operation HOPE.

“Operation HOPE remains committed to forging transformative partnerships with leading innovators, like Robinhood… Together, we can harness the power of innovation to empower individuals and communities with the knowledge and tools they need for a brighter, more financially secure future."

John Hope Bryant, Founder, Chairman and CEO, Operation HOPE

Robinhood created the Elder Fraud Training Initiative, hosting online and live events to discuss scams and fraud with seniors. Attendees explored the scope of financial fraud, self-protection strategies, steps for victims to take, and how to report suspected fraud affecting others.
