COLUMBUS FASHION INITIATIVE
EIN 37-1934707 · Youth Development - Business (O53)
What they do
OUR GOAL is to SUPPORT THE CREATION and GROWTH of CREATIVES and FASHION BASED BUSINESS THROUGH MULTIPLE FACETS. FIRST, WE LOOK to EDUCATE OUR MEMBERS and THE COMMUNITY WITH SKILLS THAT ADD VALUE to THEIR BRANDS and INCREASE THEIR KNOWLEDGE AS A PROFESSIONAL. WE ARE CONSTRUCTING FACILITIES THAT HOUSE INDUSTRIAL-GRADE EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS SEWING MACHINES, SERGERS, DTG, FABRIC and SCREEN PRINTERS ETC., WITH WHICH OUR MEMBERS HAVE ACCESS IN ORDER to BUILD A BUSINESS WITHOUT THE OVERHEAD of THIS INCREDIBLY USEFUL BUT EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT. WE WILL COACH OUR MEMBERS and COMMUNITY ON HOW to GO FROM CONCEPTION to PRODUCTION and ALL THE AREAS IN BETWEEN. LASTLY, WE LOOK to CREATE OPPORTUNITIES to CONNECT ARTISTS WITH RETAIL PROFESSIONALS and FIND OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
