PVH Foundation, the PVH Corp's philanthropic fund specifically dedicated to nonprofit donations and volunteer programmes, has announced an additional $1 million, for a total commitment of more than $2 million, towards the Covid-19 relief efforts. PVH Corp is US-based one of the most admired fashion and lifestyle companies in the world. 
 
The additional donation will support frontline medical workers, the fight against food insecurity, supply chain and industry relief, and community resiliency. These donations aim to complement what has already been dedicated to the Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
 
“The Covid-19 pandemic is a human crisis touching everyone around the world in some way. PVH is built on its family-like culture, and the way we live our lives is the same way we conduct business: We try to do the right thing,” Manny Chirico, chairman and CEO, PVH, said in press release. “It’s more important now than any time I can remember to support our people, communities and industry.”
 
The PVH Foundation also is working with PVH’s long-term partner Better Work, a collaboration between the International Labour Organisation and International Finance Corporation. Funds will be used to support activities benefitting suppliers and workers through the Covid-19 crisis.
 
Organisations to receive contributions from The PVH Foundation have been selected by PVH associates in locations around the world. Support will be targeted in Asia, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, UK and US to organisations that will best address local needs.
 
Nonprofit grantees in the US will include several hospitals and healthcare organisations, including Mount Sinai Health System (NY), Montefiore Health System (NY), Northwell Health (NY), RWJBarnabas Health (NJ) and Hackensack Meridian Health (NJ).
 
Other US grantees are: Feeding America, Coalition for the Homeless (NYC), Food Bank of Somerset County (NJ), and the NYC Small Business Continuity Loan Fund.
 
In Canada, organisations include: Lakeridge Health Foundation (Oshawa), North York General Foundation (Toronto) and the Jewish General Hospital (Montreal).
 
In addition to this $2M commitment, PVH had also made a 2M RMB contribution to the Chinese Society of the Red Cross, as well as a $50,000 contribution to A Common Thread, the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund initiative to provide support and raise awareness for those in the American fashion community who have been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
 
Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger have donated product in US, Netherlands, UK and Italy to support frontline healthcare workers and will continue to give product where it is needed the most.
