Target #732 of Cicero
June 19, 2008
From national partnerships to local initiatives, to our own programs, Target is committed to making our communities better places to live. The United Way campaign is run locally and supported by their staff. Many of their staff also use local United Way agencies.
They support the arts by sponsoring free attendance days, encourage our team members to volunteer and donate generously to charities, and have created initiatives that make a profound impact, including Take Charge of Education®, which has raised more than $200 million for schools since 1997. Or Start Something®, their partnership with the Tiger Woods Foundation that helps kids build character as they identify and achieve their dreams. From the beginning, Target Corporation has given 5% of pretax profits to good causes; today they are giving back over $3 million a week to education, the arts and social services.
