Mission & Focus Areas
ICON360’s stated mission is to provide financial resources and industry connections for HBCUs and marginalized designers of color to achieve sustainable growth in the fashion industry. Its filing describes grants to BIPOC designers to provide capital and coaching to scale their businesses, as well as support for HBCUs and individuals for programs in fashion design, fashion merchandising, or the arts. Grant recipients may use funds for general support of eligible fashion brands and HBCU fashion programs, subject to grant-use agreements and reporting requirements.
The supported organizations include HBCU-related institutions. For example, Bowie State University Foundation says its mission is to raise private contributions in support of Bowie State University and to oversee gift acceptance and administration. The Foundation for NC A&T State University says it works to cultivate loyalty and tradition and foster lifelong relationships among the university, alumni, students, and friends. Howard University describes its Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts as providing undergraduate and graduate education through art, music, and theatre arts departments.
Grantmaking
In 2024, ICON360 reported making five grants totaling $195,420. The grants ranged from $7,500 to $90,000, with a median of $24,000. The largest were $90,000 to Harlem Fashion Row in Brooklyn and $66,420 to Bowie State University in Bowie, Maryland. Other reported grants were $24,000 to Neiman Marcus Group in Dallas, and $7,500 each to Howard University in Washington, DC, and North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro. The grants to Bowie State, Howard, and North Carolina A&T were identified as HBCU fashion department support.
ICON360’s website describes the 360 Fashion Scholarship as providing housing and travel support for HBCU undergraduates with confirmed fashion-industry internships. Its listed application deadline of May 11, 2026 has passed. The page lists academic standing of at least a 2.5 GPA and a faculty recommendation among the requirements. A separate scholarship description gives a 2024/2025 academic-year cycle with awards of $2,500 or $5,000 and mentorship; that cycle has also passed. These are scholarships for students, distinct from grants to organizations.
ICON360 also described a 2020 A Common Thread initiative with Vogue and the CFDA, offering grants to designers of color. Its stated criteria included living in the United States, being in business for at least two years, selling through the designer’s own e-commerce platform, and having pivoted the business after the COVID-19 pandemic. The described application required an application, reference letter, video, portfolio, lookbook, linesheet, and pitch deck, and included virtual business-growth and sustainability coaching. This was a 2020 cycle, not a current application opportunity.
