KARLIE KLOSS

Cover shoots, cookies and coding, oh my! The supermodel is quite the renaissance woman, and in between all of her jet-setting, she runs Kode With Klossy, an organization which empowers young women to get involved in the male-dominated tech industry.

Recently, she used her travel know-how in a collaboration with Away travel cases on a line of savy and stylish carry-ons and backpacks that feature built-in tech functionalities like USB chargers. The cases are perfect for the students in her organization, as they're ideal for keeping tech gear organized. A percentage of the proceeds will be donated to her organization and to coding camps that will host girls age 13-18 this summer.

KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN

The reality star believes in giving back for the sake of giving, not for the sake of good press. Her late father raised her to keep in mind her motives for charity work and never to boast about it. At the November 2016 Angel Ball, which honored her father Robert Kardashian, who died of esophageal cancer in 2003, she and her family donated $250,000 to the Gabrielle's Angel Foundation. While she and her sisters felt uncomfortable with the public knowing how much they'd donated, they agreed that what mattered wasn't the amount, but bringing awareness to a cause that mattered to them.

Last Thanksgiving, Khloe joined boyfriend Tristan Thompson for a Turkey Drive in Cleveland, and explained how refreshing it was to help out outside of L.A. “In L.A., it sometimes feels like a lot is done to be seen. Around the holidays, you see so many celebrities going to a homeless shelter or a food drive, which is great, but it should be for the right reasons,” she said.

Frankel chartered 4 planes from Florida and New Jersey to distribute $25,000 in cash and Costco gift cards and nearly 15,000 lbs. of critical supplies like water, diapers, canned goods, and more.
