The Fifth & Pacific Foundation invests in nonprofit organizations that remove barriers to employment for women by helping them take important steps toward long-term self-sufficiency. With our support, nonprofit organizations provide intensive hands-on training to women so they may, perhaps for the first time, enter the workforce, start their own business, or begin a career path that leads them out of poverty. Building on 31 years of grantmaking, our giving is squarely focused in the U.S. communities where Fifth & Pacific Companies, Inc. has a significant presence. These communities are: the five boroughs of New York City; Los Angeles County, California; and Hudson County, New Jersey. The Foundation also provides funding to a limited number of national initiatives. In a given year, the Foundation provides approximately $1.4 million in the form of grants to nonprofit organizations whose goals and operations further our priorities. These funds come entirely from earnings on the Foundation's endowment, which stood at approximately $24.6 million at the end of 2011. Grants are made in support of direct services, public policy, public awareness, infrastructure, and occasionally for capital needs. To apply for funding, please follow the instructions provided in the attached "Required Documents for Grant Proposals."
