Overview

Target store grants support nonprofit programs that impact the arts, early childhood reading and family violence prevention in the areas where we do business.

Reading is an essential element in a child’s educational process. Reading grants are awarded to schools, libraries and nonprofit organizations, supporting programs such as weekend book clubs and after-school reading programs that foster a love of reading and encourage children, from birth through age 9, to read together with their families.

Target funds arts programs that bring the arts to schools or make it affordable for youth and families to participate in cultural experiences, such as school touring programs, field trips to the theater or symphony, or artists residencies and workshops in schools. Programs that make the arts accessible to school children are of particular interest to us.

These grants support programs that help prevent family violence, such as parenting classes and family counseling. We also provide assistance for support groups and abuse shelters.

The 2008 grant application deadline has passed. Please visit again between March 1 and May 31, 2009 to apply for a grant. If you have applied for a grant, you will be notified of our decision by September 30, 2008. Most grants average between $1,000 and $3,000.
