TORY BURCH FOUNDATION
with a clear mission — to increase women’s economic power by
supporting entrepreneurs to build businesses that last. Our
thriving ecosystem – of experts, innovators, and industry leaders –
connects extraordinary women entrepreneurs to essential
resources to scale, lead, and shape the economy. Entrepreneurs
who participate in our programming stay in business longer, are
more likely to surpass $1M in annual revenue, and secure funding
at higher rates than their peers.
The brand funds a portion of the Tory Burch Foundation operating
expenses through a combination of product sales and direct
donation. Every product purchased contributes to the
Foundation’s mission. Additionally, Tory Burch employees have
provided 850 hours of expert, skills-based advisory sessions to
women entrepreneurs. Since 2017, customers have purchased
over 1.2 million products as part of the Tory Burch Foundation
Collection, including our Embrace Ambition Bracelets. 100% of
net proceeds from this collection benefits the Foundation’s work.
COMPANY CULTURE
At Tory Burch, investing in our employees’ development and celebrating their accomplishments creates lifelong careers and a culture of growth. Our core Buddy Values — named after Tory’s father who always treated everyone with kindness and respect — shape our company culture, our decision-making, our investments and the high standards we set for ourselves. Recognizing and respecting what makes each of us unique is a core value. Our culture is welcoming and inclusive; we collect feedback from our teams globally through our annual Engagement Survey to ensure that every voice is heard.
BUILDING COMMUNITY
Giving back was part of Tory’s vision from the start. Not only does a portion of every purchase go to the work of the Foundation, we also support the next generation of fashion talent through philanthropic and programmatic partnerships with Parsons School of Design and Raise Fashion, a nonprofit that elevates underrepresented fashion professionals. Additionally, the company donates product to non-profit organizations that align with our values, like Dress for Success® which empowers women to achieve economic mobility by providing a global network of support, workplace attire, and development tools for success.
