What Target field trip grants are offered this year?

Target funds programs that allow students and teachers to learn in all kinds of settings. We fund field trips that connect students’ classroom curricula to out-of-school experiences. Field trips must take place between January and the end of the school year (May or June) 2019.

What is not funded through the Target field trip grants program?

Target does not make grants to:

  • individuals
  • programs taking place outside of the United States, U.S. protectorates or Canada
  • educational institutions for regular instructional programs
  • religious organizations for religious purposes
  • treatment programs such as substance or alcohol abuse
  • athletic teams or events
  • fundraiser or gala events
  • advocacy or research groups
  • capital or building construction projects
  • endowment campaigns

What are Target’s program timing and funding guidelines?

Target accepts, reviews and funds programs for Target filed trip grants based on a specific timetable.

Field trip grants applications are accepted Aug. 1 – Sept. 30.

How do I know if my organization is eligible to receive a grant from Target?

To request a charitable contribution, your organization must be a federally tax-exempt section 501(c)(3) charitable organization, an accredited school, or a public agency located in the United States of America or one of its protectorates.

Note: A public agency is an organization established and primarily funded by the United States government such as public schools, public libraries, public parks, and law enforcement agencies. A public agency must be able to provide a valid Government affirmation letter or have a valid NCES number.

How do we know if our organization is within the Target community?

We accept grant requests from organizations that are in the communities where Target has stores in the United States. Your organization must be within 100 miles of one of our stores in order to apply for a Target grant.

My 501(c)(3) has a pending status; do I qualify to receive a donation?

No. Target does not fund organizations with a pending 501(c)(3) status. Only organizations that are verified with a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) designation, as determined by the Internal Revenue Service, are eligible to receive donations.
