Jean Shafiroff





Hamptons power player Jean Shafiroff, who is best known for her philanthropic impact, can be found hosting, chairing and receiving high honors at exclusive galas and events for numerous charitable causes throughout Summer 2018. As a volunteer fundraiser, leader and spokesperson, her efforts improve the lives of underserved populations, women’s rights and wellbeing, healthcare, animal welfare and resources for children in need.



Jean serves on the boards of New York City Mission Society, French Heritage Society, Couture Council (Museum of the Fashion Institute of Technology), Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services for more than 20 years, Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation Honorary Board, Southampton Bath & Tennis Club’s Charitable Foundation, and Global Strays. In addition, Jean is an Ambassador for the American Humane Society, the Ambassador-at-large for the Southampton Animal Shelter, and remains a very active Board Alumna of the New York Women’s Foundation.



For a glimpse of what Jean Shafiroff may experience day-to-day and to learn where her passion derives from, she authored a practical guide to modern giving in 2016, Successful Philanthropy: How to Make A Life By What You Give. As a philanthropist and a member of charity’s Board of Directors, giving her time, knowledge and resources can be far more valuable than the customary financial contribution.
