[RFP Bulletin]

Target Stores Offer Funding to Local Communities
Deadline: July 31, 2003

Target stores (http://www.target.com/) in communities across the United States are now accepting applications for the company’s community giving grant program. The program currently awards grants in three areas: arts, education, and family violence prevention.

To be eligible for funding, an applicant organization must be a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status, a school, or a unit of government; be located in a community where Target does business; and do work in the areas of arts, education, or family violence prevention.

Target will accept grant applications between February 1 and July 31, 2003. Applications will be received and reviewed by local Target store team leaders, who will make funding recommendations. Applications will be reviewed as they are received; applicants are therefore encouraged to apply early. Most grants will average between $1,000 and $5,000.

Complete guidelines and applications can be downloaded at Target’s Web site or picked up at local Target stores.
