This
grant is part of ongoing efforts by Target to strengthen families and
communities throughout the country. Since opening its doors, Target has
given 5% of its income to organizations that support education, the arts
and safe families and communities. Today that translates to $3
million every week.
"At Target, we are
making a real difference every day through our grant-making
program," said Laysha Ward, Vice President, Community Relations.
"We're proud to partner with Many Mansions as part of our ongoing
commitment to give back to the communities where our guests and team
members live and work."
