About Avon

The company generated over $1 billion in revenues during 2015, and has nearly 400,000 independent sales Representatives in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada.

Avon has a 130 year history of empowering women through economic opportunity, and the company also proudly supports the Avon Foundation for Women in its efforts to end breast cancer and domestic violence. This is the company that puts mascara on lashes and food on tables. That fights wrinkles with one hand and breast cancer with the other. That knows the value of a perfect lip, but still opens its mouth and speaks out against domestic violence and for women's financial independence. This is the company that not only brings beauty to doors, but also opens them. This is Avon. The company that for 130 years has stood for beauty, innovation, optimism and, above all, for women. Everyday, Avon brings beauty to the lives of women. At Avon, beauty means more than finding the right lipstick shade for a customer. It means providing an earnings opportunity so a woman can support her family; and championing causes that matter to many women – eradicating breast cancer and ending domestic violence. At Avon, we understand the power and potential of beauty to transform lives. We believe that beauty is more than skin deep; it is a way to empower women. Because when you feel more beautiful, you see more beauty and create more beauty around you. Our consumers and our Representatives share a mission to make a more beautiful world for women everywhere. As you shop for your favorite Avon products, feel good knowing that your purchase helps another woman, like a friend, neighbor or family member – not a faceless chain. Empowerment is the destination. Beauty is the journey. This is Beauty for a Purpose. More than 60 Years of Progress
About Us
cause-logo
Since 1955, the Avon Foundation for Women has promoted or aided charitable, scientific, educational and humanitarian activities, with a special emphasis on those activities that improve the lives of women and their families. The Avon Foundation for Women administers programs in the United States and works in partnership with affiliate Avon Foundations and Avon markets around the world. In the U.S., the Foundation’s breast cancer work is managed through Avon Breast Cancer Crusade LLC. Our efforts to eradicate breast cancer and end domestic and gender violence worldwide have helped move these issues out of the shadows and into the public dialogue. And as attitudes continue to change – from fear and isolation to knowledge, action and empowerment – so do the lives of countless women everywhere. To date, Avon and the Avon Foundation for Women have contributed more than $1 billion to causes that matter most to women. Our Mission
Our mission is to improve the lives of women globally. In our core cause areas of Breast Cancer and Domestic Violence, we aim to accelerate progress, accountability and discovery, while also reducing the social stigma that sometimes keeps these issues in the shadows. We take a woman-centric approach on all projects to break traditional barriers and build a better future for women, because we know that the greater the support, the more empowered women feel to take control of their health and safety. We lead efforts to eradicate breast cancer through the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, and to end domestic and gender violence through the Avon Speak Out Against Domestic Violence program using four key strategies:
Funding the most promising work;
Convening grantees, partners and other thought leaders to collaborate and share best practices for improved outcomes;
Initiating new directions and innovative projects to accelerate progress; and
Educating the general public and key audiences to drive and change behavior to achieve its mission goals. Thanks to supporters like you, the Avon Foundation for Women has been improving the lives of millions of women around the world for more than 60 years. For us, the measure of success is how each donation and every fundraising product purchase directly touches the lives of women affected by breast cancer or domestic violence. Domestic Violence Impact
Since 2004, the Avon Foundation’s Speak Out Against Domestic Violence initiative has been a powerful voice for women, with programs in 50 countries in almost all 50 U.S. states. The program has served 11 million women, educated 29 million about domestic violence, and contributed nearly $60 million to empowerment programs. Learn more about U.S. grants.
