Gucci has opened applications for the fourth chapter of the Gucci Changemakers North America initiative. On Giving Tuesday, Gucci said it has already invested close to $4.7 million of a multiyear commitment to community funding and scholarship programs.
“It is only fitting that we launch the fourth chapter of North America Gucci Changemakers initiative on Giving Tuesday. This is a day in which we all strive to give back to our communities and empower the next generation of Gucci Changemakers to leave their mark of generosity for years to come,” said Antoine Phillips, Gucci’s vice president of brand and culture engagement.
The Gucci Changemakers Scholarship program has received nearly 4,000 student registrations since 2009, culminating in 56 scholarships to students across North America. These young creatives have gone on to launch and expand their clothing lines, produce and direct award-winning short films, start and expand community nonprofit organizations, and have had their art shown in exhibits and museums worldwide.
Gucci Changemakers Scholarship Fund will award 12 students a one-year Gucci scholarship for up to $20,000 based on their financial needs. Students with at least two semesters left at the start of the 2023 fall semester at an accredited community college or four-year university, including graduating high schools seniors, are eligible to apply.
The Impact Fund will award up to $1 million in grant funding to 12 community-based 501 organizations across the select Changemaker cities. The program will fund key social impact areas, including social justice and equity, arts and culture, health equity and wellness, and education. In addition, organizations focusing on reducing gun violence, increasing access to voting, and supporting individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
