CR.FW FOUNDATION

ABOUT US

The CRFW Foundation is a nonprofit initiative dedicated to uplifting creatives and strengthening communities through culture, compassion, and collaboration. Founded on the belief that creativity is a force for good, our mission is to provide meaningful opportunities for artists, models, designers, and innovators to give back — while building sustainable futures for themselves and others.

Each year, CRFW Foundation leads community-driven programs such as turkey drives, free haircut events, and local giveback initiatives, ensuring that creativity continues to serve the people and neighborhoods that inspire it.

To further our commitment to empowerment, we offer annual grant sign-ups that provide emerging creatives with financial support and mentorship to kick-start their entrepreneurial paths — whether launching a brand, developing a project, or expanding their vision into a sustainable business.

We also invest in the growth and confidence of aspiring models through our Modeling Workshops, hosted around Fashion Week. These sessions focus on developing digitals, runway training, posing, and personal branding, ensuring every model steps into the industry prepared, polished, and powerful.

Beyond the spotlight, we bring the creative community together through CRFW Creative Panels — open discussions with industry professionals exploring the realities, pros and cons, and expectations of navigating the creative world.

At CRFW Foundation, we believe in merging art with action, style with service, and creativity with community — building a culture where giving back is just as powerful as moving forward.
