A Tradition of Corporate Giving
We believe that our tradition of corporate giving helps us connect with our customers and employees around shared values and interests, such as the arts, environmental conservation and inclusion. This tradition began when our founder, Charles Lewis Tiffany, and his son, Louis Comfort Tiffany, supported The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the New York Society of Fine Arts in our hometown of New York City. Today, we continue this tradition through our engagement with local and global organizations that further causes that are important to us.
As part of our unwavering commitment to diversity and inclusion, in 2020 we began partnerships with the Ali Forney Center, a leading organization that provides services for homeless LGBTQIA+ youth in the United States, and the National Urban League, a civil rights organization that works through its 90 affiliates across the United States to improve social and economic outcomes for the Black community. These partnerships are enabled, in part, through our Employee Resource Groups and reflect our dedication to advancing important conversations within our company and the wider community.
Tiffany & Co. has always had a powerful relationship with nature and a legacy of supporting wildlife conservation. As part of our ongoing efforts, we continue to donate 100% of profits from the Tiffany Save the Wild collection to the Wildlife Conservation Network for the protection of elephants, rhinos and lions and have raised over USD $8 million since 2017.
We also contribute to communities affected by climate change. In response to the devastating bushfires in Australia in late 2019 and early 2020, we donated to support local relief efforts focused on assisting communities, wildlife and volunteer firefighters.
