The PVH Foundation

Giving back to communities around the world.

PVH is committed to driving fashion forward for good. The PVH Foundation leads our global philanthropic efforts focused on advancing opportunity, belonging, and renewal, particularly among those from groups that have been historically underrepresented or underserved.

Power of Opportunity

Pave the way for economic independence and a better tomorrow byproviding building blocks and eliminating barriers to career success

Commitment Highlights:

The PVH Foundation is a founding partner of the Resilience Fund for Women in Global Value Chains, a first-of-its kind pooled funding initiative that promotes women's health and economic resilience. The Fund's unique democratized processes and real time feedback advance women-led locally driven solutions to systemic issues that make women more vulnerable to crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since 2020, PVH has launched multiple Gap Inc. Personal Advancement Career Enhancement (P.A.C.E) community programs. P.A.C.E. is an evidence-based, comprehensive learning program for female garment workers that covers professional and life skills topics such as communication and problem solving, as well as water, sanitation and hygiene; health; and legal and financial literacy. The program aims to reduce discrimination, foster women’s economic empowerment, facilitate family friendly workplaces, and support women in leadership roles at all levels.

Power of Belonging

Cultivate equity and belonging by addressing barriers faced by communities that have experienced systemic disadvantage and celebrate the unique differences among us

Commitment Highlights:

In 2021, the PVH Foundation committed to new investments totaling $10 million USD over four years to global nonprofit organizations. These investments support their unique programming and initiatives to amplify access and awareness to the fashion industry.

The PVH Foundation joined the Fashion Institute of Technology of the State University of New York (FIT) as a founding partner of the Social Justice Center at FIT, a first-of-its-kind higher education initiative established to increase opportunity and accelerate social equity within the fashion and creative industries for the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) community. PVH pledged $1 million USD over four years to help launch the center alongside other partners.

Power of Renewal

Ensure the long-term viability and vitality of our communities by fostering innovative solutions that address environmental pressures and help rebuild in the face of crises across the globe
