RAISEfashion and Ferrara are coming together for a powerful evening in support of the Designer Production Fund, a grant initiative created to address one of the greatest barriers facing emerging designers: access to high-quality, scalable, and sustainable production.

At Ferrara, a leading American factory known for its craftsmanship and commitment to local manufacturing, we're gathering industry leaders, designers, and supporters to spotlight The True Cost of Production, what it really takes to build a lasting fashion business.

Your donation helps underrepresented designers:

• Secure local, ethical manufacturing resources
• Scale their collections without sacrificing quality
• Build sustainable, long-term fashion businesses

Every Dollar Counts

Your contribution directly supports grants to help emerging BIPOC and underrepresented designers who are shaping the future of fashion and who often face limited access to capital and infrastructure.

• $100 helps cover materials
• $500 supports pattern development
• $1,500 funds a full prototype
• $2,500 covers a complete sample
• $5,000+ invests in a full production run

All donations are 100% tax deductible and matched by a generous anonymous donor.
