Kohl’s associates nominated local nonprofits nationwide that support family health and wellness
MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- In celebration of the holidays and the season of giving, Kohl’s (NYSE: KSS) announced today that it will donate $5 million to more than 150 nonprofits across the country that support the company’s overarching philanthropic platform focused on family health and wellness. Through the company’s A Community with Heart program, Kohl’s associates nationwide are empowered to nominate nonprofits making a difference in their local communities for these grants. Funding is made possible through the Kohl’s Cares® merchandise program, which sells children’s books and toys, and donates 100 percent of the net profit to charitable organizations that support family health and wellness.
“Giving back is at the heart of who Kohl’s is as a company, and throughout the year we bring this to life through charitable grants, associate volunteering and more,” said Christie Raymond, Kohl's chief marketing officer. “The holidays are a special time for all of us and being able to surprise more than 150 nonprofits nationwide with a total of $5 million in grants makes the season even more meaningful. We’re so thankful for the work all of these nonprofits do to enrich the lives of families across the country and are grateful for the passion our associates have for their communities.”
Grants range from $5,000 to $65,000 and will be distributed locally through nonprofits such as the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, American Cancer Society, and the National Urban League, as well as local chapters of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, National Alliance on Mental Illness and Ronald McDonald House Charities.
