In its continued support of the Lower Eastside Girls Club (LESGC), H&M hosted a Career Day in its New York Showroom for program participants.

H&M has been a proud contributor to The Trevor Project since 2021 to enable the organization’s life sustaining work. Programs offered by Trevor include 24/7 crisis counselling, support and intervention, advocacy, and suicide prevention.

In 2023, H&M formalized a partnership with Harlem’s Fashion Row (HFR) as the title sponsor of its annual Sustainability Summit.

The collaboration resulted in a limited-edition capsule collection, including bespoke hoodies designed by two talented students from the Harlem School of Arts.
