Resorts World Gives

Established in 2011, Resorts World Gives is our corporate philanthropic program, encompassing all charitable giving by Resorts World New York City and Resorts World Catskills.

The mission of Resorts World Gives is to invest in the economic and social progress of the communities our properties operate in. To date, we have donated over $3 million to more than 200 local organizations and match 100% of employee donations.

Through Resorts World Gives, our philanthropy is focused around five key pillars, addressing a breadth of issues and needs. We support innovative organizations with clear goals and proven results.

Program for Community Support

Our Corporate Social Responsibility efforts operate through the Resorts World Gives (RWG) program. RWG supports organizations, projects, and programs that create opportunities for economic and social progress. Contributions seek to support established, innovative and efficient non-profit organizations with clearly articulated goals that have proven to be successful at improving the neighborhoods of Queens, Monticello, Newburgh and their surrounding areas.
