Future Together 2022: Sustainability Grants

Earlier this year, AE announced Future Together, a philanthropic program to support and inspire the causes that matter to YOU — so we can build a better future together. We’ve committed to awarding $200,000 total in grants to create positive change in your local communities. We’ve already awarded $60,000, and we’ve got another opportunity for you!

We believe great style is created with sustainability at its core.

That’s why we’re taking your feedback seriously and taking steps to build a better future through better manufacturing processes, including our Real Good styles made with the planet in mind (every pair of our jeans saves 12 gallons of water on average, compared to our past denim production!). And now, we’re giving away six more grants to support sustainability-focused projects or causes you are passionate about. 

Have an idea to ignite change? Apply for a grant now!

For your chance to be selected for a Future Together sustainability grant, download and fill out the application below, and email it as an attachment to futuretogether@ae.com. Applications for this round of grants are due by October 20, 2022. Miss the deadline or don’t get selected? We’ll be announcing more grant opportunities throughout the year, so keep an eye out.

Whether it’s setting up a community garden, improving your school’s recycling program, or supporting a sustainability-focused organization you’re passionate about, we want to hear how you’re going to ignite change and build a better future.
