Target's public safety grants are managed locally by Target stores and distribution center Assets Protection teams. They are awarded to eligible organizations across the country to support crime prevention programs, community safety or youth engagement initiatives.
None is available.
Funding focus areas include:
Community safety initiatives and programs (e.g. bike helmet, car seat safety, child ID events)
Community engagement programs (e.g. public safety materials and educational materials)
Youth programs that strengthen communities by fostering relationships between youth and public safety partners (classroom to careers, after school/summer programs, mentoring)
Crime prevention programs (e.g. Stranger danger, Neighborhood watch, Social Media Safety) and initiatives (e.g. K9 program, city crime prevention programs)
Federally tax-exempt section 501(c)(3) charitable organizations, public schools or public agencies located in the communities where Target has stores or distribution centers are eligible to apply (the organization must be within 100 miles of a Target store or distribution center).
All grants are extended by invitation only. Eligible agencies interested in being considered for a potential public safety-focused grant should contact their local Target store or distribution center's Assets Protection team for a meeting to provide information around their program and overall funding request. There are two grant cycles, April and September.
Award amounts vary. More information can be found on the Corporation's website.
