Kontoor supports local community through new grant scheme

16/11/2023
Kontoor Brands Foundation, the grant-making arm of denim group Kontoor Brands, has named recipients of its first funding: seven organisations addressing food and housing security near the group’s headquarters in Greensboro.

Kontoor CEO Scott Baxter said: "Successfully addressing the housing and food crisis and providing lifelong education opportunities in our community requires a sustained commitment and forms the basis for the mission of the Kontoor Brands Foundation. 

“Our inaugural grantees play an integral role in caring for local community members and effecting positive change for future generations.”

The 2023 grant recipients include Backpack Beginnings, which helps to feed, comfort and clothe children in need; Community Housing Solutions, which helps repair housing; Family Service of the Piedmont, which address issues of domestic violence, child abuse, mental health and financial stability; and Partners Ending Homelessness.
