Gap Inc.

Gap Inc. was founded in 1969 by Donald and Doris Fisher in San Francisco, California, with a single store and a handful of employees. Today, Gap Inc. is an international company with some 165,000 employees supporting the company's three distinct brands — Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy.

Through Gap Foundation, the company’s charitable arm since 1977, Gap Inc. funds two national organizations that share our commitment to helping underserved youth. Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the Lorraine Monroe Leadership Institute aim to help students develop self-esteem, stay in school and succeed academically so they can lead more rewarding and fulfilling lives.

 

 

Areas of Giving

In addition to our major partnerships with Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the Lorraine Monroe Leadership Institute, Gap Inc. supports nonprofit organizations serving kids in local communities around the world.

Diversity

Quite simply, diversity is who we are. At Gap Inc., we believe diversity is about more than physical traits; it involves how individual differences — in experience, opinion, style and viewpoint — impact the way we relate to and work with each other and how we can best serve our customers.

Social Responsibility

With stores in five countries and every state in the U.S., plus corporate operations around the world, Gap Inc. is committed to having a positive impact in the communities where we do business. This commitment means supporting and volunteering with organizations that address the needs of youth and neighborhoods. It means striving to make sure that the garment workers who produce our clothes are treated with dignity and respect. And it means minimizing our effect on the environment.
