Gucci Announces Recipients of Its Changemakers Grant

We are thrilled to announce that Custom Collaborative is a recipient of the 2020 Gucci Changemakers Impact Fund!

Gucci selected the first recipients of its five-year Gucci North America Changemakers Impact Fund - an annual $1 million USD grant fund to support community organizations creating social impact across diverse communities in 12 cities in North America focused on arts and culture; social justice and equity; and education.

The first round of 16 grantees is focused on improving opportunity and access for diverse people across a number of social impact initiatives, including leadership development in venture capital and technology entrepreneurship, fashion programs for underserved youth, and criminal justice reform.

Each grant is up to $50,000 for a one-year funding cycle starting January 1, 2020 and will be used to help the recipients create new programs or scale existing initiatives in their communities.
