Anthony Robbins Foundation
In 1991, Robbins launched a charity, the Anthony Robbins Foundation. It is dedicated to empowering students and prisoners through food drives and learning programs based on his teachings. According to the official website, the foundation has "products and programs in more than 2,000 schools, 700 prisons, and 100,000 health and human service organizations." These programs have been written about and featured in many dozens of articles, appearing on various websites, like Cherish Our Children International and Harmony With No Limits. The independent charity watchdog, Charity Navigator, gives the foundation a rating of two out of four stars. The official website states that "the Foundation is committed to make a difference in the quality of life for children, the homeless, the prison population, and the elderly through its various programs". The foundation has subsequently led to the forming of "Basket Brigades" across the world that occur each Thanksgiving. Individuals and groups have joined together to assemble and deliver dinner baskets to needy families.
