Target Corporation
Target Corporation received CWLA's Corporate Friend of Children Award in 2003 after being nominated by NBA Colorado Christian Home-Tennyson Center for Children and Families, a CWLA member agency in Denver. In Denver alone, Target supported more than three dozen organizations and worthwhile causes, giving in excess of half a million dollars in 2002. Rosemarie Felton, Store Team Leader and Grants Captain, was present at CWLA's 2003 National Conference to accept this award on behalf of Target Corporation.
Target supports its community goals through several programs. Take Charge of Education (TCOE) embraces Target's commitment to education. TCOE has contributed more than $100 million through programs for teachers, students, and schools.
Start Something is a partnership between Target Stores and the Tiger Woods Foundation. The character-building program helps youth ages 8-17 identify and build a set of core values that will guide them throughout life. In addition, the program helps youth develop the confidence to dream, encourages them to persevere, and inspires them to succeed.
Target House is a free home away from home for families of children requiring long-term, life-saving treatment from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, in Memphis. Target meets 100% of the housing needs for up to 97 families and their children receiving treatment.
With a firm foundation of 1,227 stores in 47 states, Target understands and appreciates its role as a corporate citizen. Since its founding, Target has contributed 5% of its federally taxable income to the communities its stores serve through grants, special programs, and team member volunteerism.
