Applications Invited for Target Stores Grants
Deadline: May 31, 2006

Through its Store Grants, Target (<a href="http://target.com/">http://target.com/</a>) supports local giving in the categories of Arts, Reading, and Family Violence Prevention.

The program awards Reading grants to schools, libraries, and nonprofit organizations, supporting programs such as weekend book clubs, after-school reading programs, and events encouraging family reading time. Arts grants are given to programs that bring the arts to schools or make it affordable for families to participate in cultural experiences, such as school touring programs, field trips to the theater or symphony, or artist residencies and workshops in schools. Family Violence Prevention grants support groups working to make individual homes and entire communities safer, such as child abuse counseling programs and shelters.

Eligible applicants must be nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, schools, or units of government.

Most grants average between $1,000 and $3,000.

Funding is limited to the communities in which Target does business. Because applications will be reviewed as they are received, applicants are encouraged to apply early.

Applications for Target Store Grants are available at local Target stores and online through the Target Web site. Visit the Web site for complete program information and application procedures.
