The Robinson Family Foundation

Founded by current NBA player, Duncan Robinson. Focused on the wellbeing of the entire individual - mind, heart, & body.

The Robinson Family Foundation was founded in New Hampshire by the family of NBA player Duncan Robinson to support mental, physical, and heart health initiatives. The foundation, established after the death of Eli Robinson, aims to promote wellbeing and resilience through grants to organizations and by raising awareness about mental health, inspired by their own family’s experiences.

 In 2025, Eli Robinson—brother to Duncan and Marta—died by suicide after years of navigating schizophrenia. His life and legacy drive our commitment to mental health awareness, suicide prevention, and compassionate support for those affected.

For Duncan Robinson, years as a professional athlete and public figure have reinforced how essential physical wellness, discipline, and resilience are—not just for performance, but for a meaningful life.

Together, these experiences unified into one purpose:

to build a foundation that turns vulnerability into strength—for individuals, families, and communities.
