She is steadfast in her mission: \u201cThose who have resources,\u201d she says, \u201chave an obligation to give back.\u201d Shafiroff walks the talk.

She has been honored dozens of times by both international and regional charities. The international press often refers to her as \u201cthe First Lady of Philanthropy,\u201d a title she truly lives up to on all accounts. In 2022, the New York state assembly also named her the \u201cFirst Lady of Philanthropy.\u201d She has been featured on the covers of countless magazines, both international and local. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>That ethos defines her summer schedule, which is packed with nonprofit work spanning health care, animal welfare, women\u2019s rights, and underserved communities.

She holds a B.S. in physical therapy from Columbia University\u2019s College of Physicians and Surgeons and began her career treating patients at St. Luke\u2019s Hospital. \u201cMost of my patients lived at or below the poverty level. It would be hard to work in that setting and not develop empathy,\u201d she explained. After a short career as a physical therapist she returned to Columbia and earned an MBA in finance from the Graduate School of Business at Columbia University and then worked as an investment banker on Wall Street. \u201cBoth those experiences\u2014working with people in need and people with the means to meet them\u2014inspired me to use my knowledge and network to raise funds and awareness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That network is vast. Shafiroff serves on numerous nonprofit boards, including the Southampton Hospital Foundation; she served as a vice chair of their August 2 Summer Party Fundraiser. She\u2019s also on the boards of the NY Women\u2019s Foundation, Mission Society of NYC, French Heritage Society, Casita Maria, Couture Council for the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, and Global Strays. In addition, she serves on the honorary board and is an honorary trustee of the Jewish Board, after serving on its board for 28 years.

And remember, a \u2018no\u2019 today could be a \u2018yes\u2019 tomorrow.

One of her priorities is inspiring younger generations to take philanthropy seriously. \u201cI think it\u2019s really important to motivate young people. We must help mentor them and show support to those who want to get involved in philanthropy.\u201d I say this often: Life is not created equal. We can all try to help reduce the divide.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Her own daughters are shining examples. \u201cMy older daughter spent years in Kenya doing volunteer work with disabled children,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd my younger daughter co-founded and is president of Global Strays, a charity which supports animal welfare in underserved countries.\u201d Shafiroff credits a combination of family values and early exposure. \u201cParents and teachers serve as the greatest examples to children.\u201d Philanthropy needs to be passed down from generation to generation. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Shafiroff also uses her book, <i>Successful Philanthropy: How to Make a Life by What You Give<\/i>, as a tool to share that message. \u201cI wrote entire chapters on how to choose a charity, how to fundraise as a volunteer, and what charities expect of board members,\u201d she said. \u201cBefore getting involved with a charity, people should do their research\u2014check Charity Navigator, GuideStar, the Better Business Bureau.\u201d <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17249\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17249\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17249 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/social-life-magazine.s3.amazonaws.com\/~sociall1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/19145317\/Jean-Shafiroff.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/social-life-magazine.s3.amazonaws.com\/~sociall1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/19145317\/Jean-Shafiroff.jpg 960w, https:\/\/social-life-magazine.s3.amazonaws.com\/~sociall1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/19145317\/Jean-Shafiroff-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/social-life-magazine.s3.amazonaws.com\/~sociall1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/19145317\/Jean-Shafiroff-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/social-life-magazine.s3.amazonaws.com\/~sociall1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/19145317\/Jean-Shafiroff-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17249\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pink Satin Gown by Malan Breton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>She emphasizes that every contribution counts, regardless of wealth.

Also, her kindness and hard work.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Regarding her philanthropic life she says, \u201cFashion and philanthropy can go hand-in-hand. When people get dressed up for a gala, it makes the event more exciting, more glamorous. And if it encourages people to come out and support a good cause, then it serves a purpose.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Indeed, she\u2019s become known for her great sense of style and her spectacular ball-gown collection, including such designers as Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Dolce &amp; Gabbana, Valentino, and more. But she also champions emerging designers. \u201cI do purchase from lesser-known but highly talented designers: Victor de Souza, Malan Breton, B Michael, Zang Toi, Ese Azenabour, and Nabys Vielman, to name a few. Wearing their work gives them visibility, and I then have the opportunity to wear something unique.\u201d Shafiroff is considered a fashion icon and has appeared on major fashion magazine covers and best-dressed lists.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Jean Shafiroff has a large Instagram following: over 1.2 million people around the world. She uses her primary account, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jeanshafiroff\"><b>@jeanshafiroff<\/b><\/a>, to promote philanthropy, positivity, fashion and younger generations. But it\u2019s the philanthropic mission that keeps her going. \u201cIt\u2019s a full-time job,\u201d she says with a laugh. \u201cBut I believe in it.\u201d She believes that those who have resources have an obligation to give. Her guiding principle remains simple but powerful: \u201cEveryone can give something.
