What’s possible when bold ideas meet collective action? The VF Foundation’s FY25 Impact Report answers that question with stories of progress, partnership and purpose — highlighting how philanthropy, people and brands come together to create meaningful change around the world.  

As the philanthropic arm of VF Corporation, the VF Foundation is committed to supporting the communities where VF lives and works. During FY25, the VF Foundation and VF Corporation’s portfolio of brands invested more than $28 million in monetary grants and product donations, helping bring the Power of Possible to millions of people across 67 countries.  

Since its founding in 2002, the VF Foundation has granted more than $76 million, reaching over 17 million people worldwide in partnership with VF’s brands and employees. The FY25 Impact Report captures how that legacy continues to evolve — from meeting urgent needs to driving long‑term systems change.  

Four Pillars. One Shared Vision. 

The Foundation’s work is anchored in four program areas that reflect where it can deliver the greatest impact: 

• Thriving Outside 
  The VF Foundation believes in the power of nature — and the importance of making it accessible to all. In FY25, grants supported organizations expanding inclusive outdoor access, from adaptive climbing programs to community-centered festivals and green space redesigns. Through the Foundation's grants to Trust for Public Land alone, select trails and community schoolyards projects now serve 1.46 million people across the U.S. Partners like The Outdoor Foundation, Outside Community Foundation, Adaptive Climbers Festival, and NoisyVision are also helping remove financial, physical and social barriers so more people can experience the restorative benefits of the outdoors. 
• Protecting Our Planet 
  As a global steward, the Foundation invests in solutions that advance sustainability, circularity and climate resilience. FY25 highlights include funding innovative textile circularity systems with Industrial Commons, supporting regenerative agriculture research with WildMon, advancing climate storytelling and policy engagement through Protect Our Winters Europe, and mobilizing thousands of volunteers through Summit Foundation’s Clean‑Up Tour, which removed more than 3.2 tons of waste from alpine environments.  
• Powering Potential 
  Unlocking opportunity through education and economic self-sufficiency is central to the Foundation’s mission. In FY25, grants supported workforce innovation and talent pipelines across the apparel and outdoor industries — from Shimmy’s worker-centered training and hiring platforms in Bangladesh and Honduras, to creative education programs with Pensole Lewis College, and expanded access to fashion careers through the Fashion Scholarship Fund. The Foundation also deepened its commitment to women’s health, safety and economic resilience through its partnership with The Resilience Fund in Southeast Asia, supporting more than 160,000 people. 
• Humanitarian Relief 
  When disasters strike, the VF Foundation responds with urgency and care. In FY25, the Foundation supported relief and recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene, Valencia, Spain Floods and the Greater Los Angele Wildfires — combining monetary grants, a 3:1 employee match, and donating more than $6 million in large-scale product donations through partners like American Red Cross, Soles4Souls, Good360, and community-based organizations to deliver aid where it was needed most.  

Powered by People 

Beyond grantmaking, the FY25 report highlights the essential role of VF employees, whose time, talent and generosity help turn vision into action. From hands-on service projects to disaster recovery and environmental restoration, VF employees have contributed more than 294,000 volunteer hours since FY2019, strengthening communities through direct engagement and shared purpose.  

Progress, Together 

The stories in the FY25 Impact Report reflect what’s possible when collaboration leads the way — when nonprofits, communities, VF brands and employees unite around a shared belief that progress is within reach. 

Together with its partners, the VF Foundation continues to power bold ideas and real solutions — transforming possibility into progress and advancing a more active, sustainable and inclusive future.
