Educational Foundation for the Fashion Industries

It started in 1944, when apparel industry leaders obtained a charter to establish a “fashion institute of design and technology.” The Educational Foundation for the Fashion Industries was born, to nurture and educate the future leaders of the fashion industry.

The Educational Foundation still serves as an advisory and fundraising body to FIT. The special relationship between the college and foundation creates valuable opportunities to share knowledge and experience. Board members, who include today's leaders and innovators, serve on panels and appear as special lecturers, enabling students to meet outstanding representatives from the fields of industrial production, labor, design, merchandising, and the arts.

The Educational Foundation for the Fashion Industries is the organization charged with receiving gifts for FIT. The Educational Foundation for the Fashion Industries is designated a tax-exempt institution under the Federal Internal Revenue Service Code Section 501(c)(3).
