The latest from Legal Aid Society ... NYC contracts ... Robin Hood Foundation

A polo match on Long Island helped out the Robin Hood Foundation. Vogue has the details on the seventh annual Hamptons Cup in Water Mill, which pitted a team fielded by the Guggenheim Foundation against one led by polo star Nacho Figueras.

The backstory: One summer day, Figueras happened upon a lemonade stand raising money for the foundation. He stopped to buy a glass and a conversation ensued, eventually leading the polo star to suggest he could put together a fundraising event based on the sport.

The New York City Department of Social Services/Human Resources Administration has awarded a five-year, $11.2 million contract to George Daly HDFC. The money will fund the operation of a standalone transitional residence for adults, according to the City Record. More public relations help is coming to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which has two new contracts for such services: a $600,000 contract with the North Carolina-based Research Triangle Institute, and a $600,000 contract with the Maryland-based Westat.

A new survey aims to collect data helpful to promoting equity in the nonprofit workforce. The research, commissioned by Fund the People and the Center for Urban and Racial Equity, covers the access that people have to nonprofit careers, including how they may or may not be hired, retained and promoted.
