NRF Foundation

Good jobs change lives. As the philanthropic arm of the National Retail Federation (NRF), we believe retail is an industry of opportunity that has a career for everyone, in everything. The NRF Foundation provides resources to prepare people for retail jobs that lead to promising careers. Our industry-backed training and credentialing program, RISE Up, helps people – regardless of education, background, economic means or age — acquire the skills they need to secure jobs in retail and advance into exciting careers. Through scholarships and educational programs, we invest in the next generation of retail talent and position them for success in the industry. We work with workforce leaders, educators, and nonprofits to educate people on retail careers and facilitate hiring opportunities with retail companies. Connect with us to discuss the future of retail, as well as current talent and workforce needs in the industry.
