What started as a retail concept that bridged the generation gap, has inspired so much more. We believe progress can be found in the gaps – where we find our common thread, our shared humanity.
Our programs embrace a collaborative approach to removing barriers. The first Fortune 500 company to announce equal pay for equal work, Gap Inc. went on to build an industry-leading program (P.A.C.E/RISE) that supports women workers in the garment industry and has provided over one million women and girls around the world the opportunity to advance in life, work, and in their communities.

Gap was founded in 1969 as a single store that offered jeans and music for people of all shapes, sizes, ages and races. And, at a time of social division, we did more than sell clothes. We bridged the generation gap. Today, we are committed to maintaining a welcoming environment for all, fostering a culture where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential.
