PVH Foundation concentrates its giving in a small number of large grants that reflect its corporate roots in the apparel industry and an interest in social impact. Major funding goes to apparel-sector sustainability and industry-wide impact work, with significant support also directed to child-focused humanitarian programming and local broadcast/media community initiatives. The foundation makes relatively few, high-dollar gifts and repeats grants to strategic partners.
Concentrated, high-dollar giving with very few grants per year; repeats multi‑million-dollar commitments to strategic partners rather than many small grants.
PVH Foundation Inc’s largest recent gifts go to apparel-industry climate work and child-focused humanitarian aid, showing a split between supply-chain transformation and emergency support. The foundation gave $1,250,000 to Apparel Impact Institute in both 2023 and 2025, and $1,041,610 to Save the Children Federation Inc in 2023, followed by another $500,000 grant in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that backs a small number of strategic partners with substantial, repeated contributions. Its recent grants also connect to fashion education and industry development. PVH Foundation Inc gave $325,000 to Fordham University, $250,000 to Misa Hylton Fashion Academy Inc, and $200,000 to Fashion Institute of Techology Foundation in 2025 after a similar $200,000 gift in 2023. The recipient list includes other fashion-sector organizations such as Fashion Council Germany E V, Stichting House of Denim, Graduate Fashion Foundation, and Abcn, reinforcing the foundation’s apparel and talent-development orientation. A separate set of contributions to WABC Charity Foundation and other community organizations shows that the foundation also supports local and civic initiatives alongside its sector-focused work.
Apparel industry sustainability is a clear through line. PVH Foundation Inc gave $1,250,000 to Apparel Impact Institute in 2025 and another $1,250,000 in 2023, a two-year pattern that places climate and supply-chain impact near the center of its recent portfolio. Child welfare and emergency support is another major area. The foundation made grants of $1,041,610 and $500,000 to Save the Children Federation Inc, both in 2023 and 2025, indicating sustained support for humanitarian programming. Fashion education and career pathways also appear in the grant list. In 2025, the foundation gave $250,000 to Misa Hylton Fashion Academy Inc and $200,000 to Fashion Institute of Techology Foundation. Related support went to Fordham University in New York, suggesting interest in training and access within the fashion ecosystem. Community and media philanthropy shows up as well through grants to WABC Charity Foundation and California Community Foundation, which extend the foundation’s giving beyond apparel-specific work.
Typical grant size is $4,375 at the 25th percentile, $10,000 at the median, and $47,535 at the 75th percentile, which sits well below the foundation’s largest strategic grants. The recent grant list shows repeated awards to several partners across multiple years, including Apparel Impact Institute, Save the Children Federation Inc, United Nations Foundation Inc, Fashion Institute of Techology Foundation, and Graduate Fashion Foundation. That repetition suggests an ongoing relationship model rather than one-off-only giving. PVH Foundation Inc is classified as a regular funder and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grant record also includes associate-linked vehicles such as donation matching, Dollars for Doers, and community grants.
