The mission of the Chicago Fashion Foundation (CFF), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is to provide academic scholarships to Chicago-area college students majoring in fashion related studies and coordinate educational programs for the Chicago fashion community. CFF's goal is to maintain and develop the fashion industry in Chicago through an annual scholarship competition, yearly fundraiser, continuous professional networking events, and mentoring programs.

CFF is comprised of professionals and students who are dedicated to  developing and retaining local fashion talent in order to raise the caliber of the Chicago fashion industry.

 







 

The Chicago Fashion Foundation is a dynamic group of industry insiders committed to supporting Fashion in Chicago. We are made up of an eclectic mix of professionals encompassing every aspect of the Fashion Industry from designers to manufacturers to stylists to fashion writers & editors.

What we have in common is our love of fashion, our knowledge that Chicago is an incredible city of style and our commitment to promote Chicago's Fashion industry worldwide.

We at Chicago Fashion Foundation (CFF) are thrilled to announce that we were granted approval of our nonprofit organization's exempt status under section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code near the end of 2005. This is a milestone for CFF that only legitimizes our position supporting the fashion industry in the City of Chicago. Our exempt status will give us the structure to create innovative programs to champion local fashion entrepreneurs, emerging talent and students in fashion-related fields that are committed to growing the fashion awareness and resources here in Chicago and beyond.
