Gifts made through Kohl's Cares National Giveback Initiative will support more than 40 nonprofits across the country

MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In recognition of GivingTuesday, Kohl's (NYSE: KSS) announced more than $1 million in total grants to more than 40 nonprofits nationwide through the Kohl's Cares National Giveback Initiative in support of improving family health and wellness. Each nonprofit will receive a $25,000 grant.

"We're proud to further our commitment to improving family health and wellness around the country this holiday," said Christie Raymond, Kohl's chief marketing officer. "Giving back to our communities year-round is an important part of who we are at Kohl's, and this initiative is just one of many ways we bring that to life."

Funding for the National Giveback Initiative is made possible through Kohl's Cares Goods for Good, which sells children's books and toys and donates 100% of the net profit to nonprofits nationwide. In total, Kohl's has donated more than $30 million to nonprofits through this giving program since 2018.

This December, Kohl's will give even more to nonprofits nationwide through the Kohl's Cares Matching Gifts program, which supports causes that are important to associates. Earlier this holiday season, Kohl's announced more than $500,000 in total donations to more than 25 nonprofits in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties through the Kohl's Cares Hometown Giving program. Kohl's is also donating more than $400,000 total through the Kohl's Cares Shopping Grant program to over 200 nonprofits across the country to purchase needed items for their organizations and the individuals they serve.
