In celebration of World Mental Health Day 2024, we are proud to award Bring Change to Mind with our first AE Foundation™ Signature Grant. Bring Change to Mind is a nonprofit co-founded by award-winning actress and activist Glenn Close that works to end stigma and discrimination surrounding mental illness.
AEO has partnered with Bring Change to Mind since 2021, collaborating with the nonprofit’s ambassador, actor, and activist Chase Stokes to launch a limited-edition graphic tee, where 100% of sales were donated to the organization. American Eagle and Aerie, together with our customers, are the largest corporate donors in Bring Change to Mind’s history, providing more than $1.6 million to the organization since 2021, helping the nonprofit grow to serve 540 high schools and 60 middle schools in 43 states across the U.S.
This AE Foundation™ Signature Grant will help Bring Change to Mind in achieving its goal of doubling the number of schools and students served by 2027, with additional reach into rural, inner city, under-resourced, and BIPOC communities. Our grant is made possible by generous donations from the AE fam!
