The company's philanthropic arm celebrated $8 million in grant funding to outside quests.
Some of the beneficiaries were Nature Conservancy, which supports native ranchers and their projects; Trust for Public Land, turning schoolyards into recreation spaces; Regenerative Rising, which devotes funding to regenerative agriculture projects, and Full Circle Expedition & Winder River Indian Reservation.
Team Full Circle made history last May as the first Black expedition team to summit Mount Everest, in The North Face, naturally. “People say to us, ‘Black people don’t do snow. We don’t ski, we don’t do camping,’” recounted climber Rosemary Saal, in the report. “And that can become a very real, self-imposed limitation. People don’t even know the things they can do unless they’re exposed to it.”
The impact report also spotlighted career mobility and designer funds like VF’s “RaiseFashion” platform, which has earmarked $200,000 over the past two years for designers like the Los Angeles-based twins behind label BruceGlen . Across all of its efforts, VF is still prioritizing climate. Its current science-based targets underpin the precedence for not only a 1.5-degrees Celsius reduction pathway“We are proud to help seed the solutions to some of today’s most pressing issues that will grow positive change and meaningful impact around the globe,” Gloria Schoch, executive director of The VF Foundation and senior director of VF Corp., summarized in the impact report.
