The Social Impact Fund (SIF) and Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) Foundation are proud to announce the 2026 Social Impact Summit x NYC, taking place at FIT on March 30, 2026. Rooted in a shared commitment to advancing a more just and equitable future, and following on from the success of the SIF 2024 and 2025 Summits in Los Angeles, SIF and FIT are presenting the Summit as a platform for dialogue and collaboration at the intersection of fashion, beauty, and purposeful advocacy. In addition to high-level panels and thoughtful discourse, the Summit will honor two extraordinary individuals who have redefined purposeful advocacy:  SELENA GOMEZ and KENNETH COLE.
