The Avon Foundation was founded in 1955 with the goal of improving women’s lives, and today they are proud to be the largest corporate philanthropy dedicated to women's causes globally.

The Avon Foundation's current dual mission supports breast cancer research and access to care, as well as addressing domestic and gender violence. Avon philanthropy has also responded in times of major global disasters, most recently to the earthquake in Haiti.

Through 2010, Avon global philanthropy has raised and donated more than $800 million worldwide, changing and saving lives across the country and around the world. The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer is the Avon Foundation’s largest annual fundraising initiative, and also one of the largest fundraising programs in the country. From 2003 through 2010, the Avon Walks have raised more than $380 million - funds that are directly saving lives. The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer also raises extraordinary awareness as participants spend an entire weekend walking 39 miles through cities and towns around the country. In 2010 alone, thousands of donors supported more than 21,000 Walkers and Crew raising more than $55 million in the national 9-event series!
