BFC Foundation

"When we created the BFC Foundation Patronage Programme at the end of 2020, we set an ambitious target of fundraising. Despite another tricky year for so many, an incredible group of individuals have stepped forward to donate and support the BFC Foundation and its grant giving initiatives.

The funds raised by the charity will allow us to continue the important work we do in supporting talented designers at all stages of their career as well as making sure that the fashion industry remains diverse and open to all."

Narmina Marandi and Tania Fares, Co-Chairs of the BFC Foundation
