Donation requests

Eligibility 

Our support focuses on creating social and environmental impact in the communities where we operate. We direct most of our community investment resources towards the following focus areas: quality education, good health & well-being, and resources protection, in alignment with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We also remain committed to humanitarian aid and disaster relief in the areas where we operate, when circumstances arise.

Eligible projects and organizations must:

1. Demonstrate alignment with Gildan’s values and community investment focus areas 
2. Operate in countries where Gildan has operations 
3. Be a registered organization and provide a valid charitable registration number (when applicable)
4. Be financially sound (provide a copy of their most recent financial statements/balance sheet when requested) 
5. Demonstrate a commitment to Gildan's Culture & Inclusion strategy

Disaster relief funding is determined by Gildan on an ad hoc basis. 

Unfortunately, we cannot support every request we receive. Projects and organizations that are not eligible include: 

1. Projects which fall outside countries where Gildan has operations 
2. Individuals or charitable appeals for individuals 
3. Religious, non-secular organizations. Faith-based organizations are eligible for support if the programs they administer are for non-religious purposes and are accessible to all individuals, regardless of their religious affiliation.
4. Advocacy, and/or political organizations
5. Parties or celebration events

How to apply: 

We accept requests for funds throughout the year. While Gildan wishes to provide aid to all eligible organizations, we may not have the ability to partner with all organizations that meet our eligibility criteria due to resource constraints. Organizations are responsible for ensuring that requests are submitted well in advance of the event or project start date.
