Through volunteering and mentorship, financial contributions and product donations, we continuously invest our energy, intentions and resources to drive positive change. Together, we live into our mantra Women to the Power of Women™.

We are of women, for women, supporting women.

Because Women to the Power of Women™ can change the world.

Giving Spotlight

The Aritzia Creative Futures Scholarship

We’re all artists. The Aritzia Creative Futures Scholarship was created to support Juilliard’s mission to eliminate financial barriers and reimagine access to a performing arts education. Our investments contribute to the broader Juilliard Scholarship Fund.

Our love of the arts runs deep — since our inception in 1984. Through this scholarship, we aim to invest in emerging artists’ educational journeys to refine their craft. As Juilliard works to expand their reach and elevate the impact of the arts, this collaboration helps sustain the spaces where excellence and creativity flourish.

Aritzia Warehouse Sale Community Shop

Each year, we proudly host the Aritzia Warehouse Sale Community Shop. This initiative offers young women and girls a back-to-school shopping trip on us — helping reduce financial barriers and build confidence for the school year ahead.

This year, with the support of our partners, we gave 800 participants a $250 Aritzia Gift Card to shop our iconic sale in Vancouver and build their wardrobe with pieces they love. Together, we also welcomed 40 young women as members of the Aritzia Warehouse Sale Team, creating an opportunity to confidently build career skills.

To date, we’ve successfully provided more than 2,000 shopping experiences through this initiative. It’s one of the ways we honour our commitment to providing comfort, confidence and practical support.

Our Giving Pillars

Powering Connection

We power connection through volunteering and mentoring women and girls in the communities where we live and work.

Here’s how.

Community Volunteering and Mentorship

We encourage our People to meaningfully engage in their communities through volunteering and mentorship efforts alongside our partners. Our Aritzia Volunteers contribute their time and skills to local organizations addressing social, environmental and community needs.

Impact Ambassadors

Impact Ambassadors are members of our Aritzia Volunteer Team who champion giving initiatives and drive volunteer involvement within their communities. They help coordinate volunteer opportunities, educate peers about key Aritzia Giving programs and inspire collective participation. Their leadership bolsters The Everyday Power of Giving through our many workplaces.

Power of Confidence

Aritzia’s Power of Confidence initiative focuses on creating opportunities to help self-identifying women unlock their potential. The goal is to help women and girls step into their future with strength, self-belief and support. We are actively working to further evolve this program.

Powering Access

We power access by supporting women and girls through scholarships, grants, awards and fellowships in the communities where we live and work.

Black Women’s Journalism Fellowship with CBC/Radio-Canada in partnership with The Canadian Journalism Foundation

This fellowship supports emerging Black women-identifying journalists in Canada as they develop their craft. Recipients gain mentorship opportunities, newsroom experience and financial support to strengthen their reporting skills and propel their careers. The fellowship amplifies Black voices, improves coverage on Black issues and helps grow future Black media leaders.

Aritzia x Stonewall Community Foundation Scholarship

The scholarship supports members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community pursuing post-secondary education in business, fashion design, retail management and social justice advocacy, helping reduce barriers to academic achievement. Administered in partnership with the Stonewall Community Foundation, it uplifts young leaders dedicated to creating positive change through related areas of study.

Pow Wow Pitch Grants

Aritzia provides grant funding to Pow Wow Pitch, a non-profit organization providing resources and mentorship to Indigenous entrepreneurs. Through our Aritzia Entrepreneur Grants initiative, we strive to uplift the next generation of self-identifying women and two-spirit Indigenous creatives.

Indigenous Excellence Scholarship

This scholarship, facilitated in partnership with Indspire, recognizes Indigenous leaders whose achievements uplift their communities and inspire future generations. Recipients represent excellence across fields such as business, retail management, fashion merchandising, education, fine arts and Indigenous studies. The scholarship empowers recipients to achieve their highest potential.

Powering Wellbeing

We power wellbeing by donating new and lightly used product to women and girls in the communities where we live and work.

The Gift of Warmth

The Gift of Warmth provides warm winter coats to women and girls in need. Partnering with community organizations, the program ensures coats reach women and girls who need them most. It’s our favourite holiday tradition that reflects Aritzia’s commitment to providing comfort, confidence and practical support — during the coldest time of the year.

Aritzia Warehouse Sale Community Shop

Each year, we proudly host the Aritzia Warehouse Sale Community Shop — an initiative offering women and girls a back-to-school shopping experience, on us. Together with our giving partners, we provide participants with a $250 Aritzia Gift Card to shop our iconic sale in Vancouver.

Product Donation Program

Aritzia donates new and lightly used apparel to partner organizations that support women, youth and vulnerable communities. These donations help individuals access clothing for everyday wear, job readiness and important life moments. Additionally, this program extends product life and helps keep it out of landfills.
