In New York City, Redstone facilitated a collaboration of the city’s top food assistance providers to help bring 10 million pounds of new food to neighborhoods where it’s needed most. In Costa Rica, the firm assisted the Linden Trust for Conservation and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation in permanently preserving over 1 million acres of critical terrestrial and marine habitat. Redstone also helped the International Planned Parenthood Federation double the number of annual services provided, reaching 137 million people, including some of the planet’s most disadvantaged and marginalized citizens.
