Mission

In October 2020, Robins Foundation and the City of Richmond again partnered to jointly seed the first fully funded guaranteed income pilot through the national initiative, Mayors for a Guaranteed Income (MGI). Titled "Richmond Resilience Initiative" (RRI), the pilot provides $500 per month for 24 months to 18 working parents experiencing the "cliff effect," or loss of safety net supports due to increases in income even if below a living wage. Recipients access wraparound supports through implementation partner, Richmond Office of Community Wealth Building.
