Kohl’s Supports Local Communities This Giving Tuesday and Year-Round
Whether it’s a national day of recognition or the holiday season, Kohl’s is committed to giving back to our communities throughout the year.
Kohl's Celebrates Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is a day dedicated to helping others, giving back and highlighting the impactful work nonprofit organizations nationwide do on a daily basis.
In honor of Giving Tuesday this year, Kohl’s will surprise 2,000 associates with the opportunity to direct donations to a nonprofit of their choosing; up to $50,000 will be donated.
Additionally, others can join Kohl's in supporting Boys & Girls Clubs of America, one of Kohl’s biggest philanthropic partners. Now through Dec. 31, 2022, Kohl's will match your donation – and, on Giving Tuesday, donations will be tripled, up to $1 million. To make a donation or volunteer at your local club, visit bgca.org.
Kohl's Donates $5 Million Nationwide This Holiday Season
This holiday season, Kohl’s will donate $5 million to nonprofits nominated by associates nationwide through our A Community with Heart program. Kohl's associates are nominating nonprofits in their local area now and Kohl's will award grants to hundreds of nonprofits later this season. The program is another way for Kohl’s and our associates to support the communities we serve.
Kohl's Supports Communities All Year Round
Here are some of the other ways Kohl’s gives back:
Kohl’s Cares® Merchandise: Kohl’s donates 100 percent of the net profit of Kohl's Cares merchandise to support happier and healthier communities.

National Partnerships: Kohl’s is proud to partner with Alliance for a Healthier Generation, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and National Alliance on Mental Illness to develop and implement critical programming aimed at improving the physical and emotional well-being of families.

Kohl's Hometown Giving Program: Kohl's Hometown Giving Program grants provide nonprofits with the opportunity to tell Kohl’s how the company can support what they need most. During the application window, nonprofits can apply for grants ranging from $5,000-$25,000; Kohl’s will distribute more than $500,000 in early January.
