GIVING BACK TO OUR CITY
DKNY is forever inspired by the pulse of New York City, and for that, we give back to the city where we were born. Our heart will always be in the dynamic energy and distinctive spirit of New York City. DKNY supports a variety of charity organizations in the greater New York City area through food, housing, and inclusivity.
CITY HARVEST
City Harvest, New York's first and largest food rescue organization, is a key philanthropic partner of DKNY and is supported through event sponsorships during each year. DKNY's contribution and partnership with City Harvest supported rescuing over 81,000+ pounds of food that would have otherwise gone to waste.
WOMEN IN NEED (WIN)
WIN is the largest provider of shelter and supportive housing for New York City's homeless families, especially women and children. DKNY's long standing partnership with Women in Need is supported through sales donations for International Women's Day, corporate community service events, & product donations.
"Because of partners like Donna Karan New York and DKNY, mothers facing homelessness are met with compassion, stability, and real opportunity. Their continued support allows us to provide critical housing and wraparound services that help women build safe, lasting futures for their children. Together, we are honoring women in the most meaningful way — by investing in their strength and resilience.”
- Win President and CEO, Christine C. Quinn
