In late 1998, Rob conceived of the idea of raising money in the hedge fund/alternative investment industry, and making grants to organizations dedicated to the prevention and treatment of child abuse, and started Help For Children/Hedge Funds Care – www.HFC.org – Fast forward to today, there are active U.S. branches in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Denver & Atlanta, plus affiliate/branches in London, Dublin, Toronto and Grand Cayman. He remains deeply committed as Chairman Emeritus, and grateful to know that since inception HFC has granted close to $60 million, through more than 1,000 grants globally, to programs focused on saving children from the trauma of abuse.
