Community Engagement Funds (CEF) is a community grant program that empowers Target stores and distribution center leaders to make meaningful, localized giving decisions that meet the needs of the communities where our team members and guests live, work, and thrive. Before submitting an application, the organization must review the guidelines below.

Target Circle also supports local communities through guest-directed giving. Circle members earn votes when they shop and can use them to help direct Target grants to nonprofits in their communities. As each voting period wraps up, Target awards grants to the nonprofits based on the percentage of votes they receive.

Our local stores care about the communities they serve. If your organization is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) or accredited school, you may go to any of our stores to request a Target GiftCard donation.

In times of crisis or humanitarian need, we make sure our partners have what they need to help communities. We’re on the scene quickly providing supplies, volunteers and distribution networks through relief organizations. Our global supply chain can move quickly to support our stores and guests. And all year round, we provide relief partner organizations with local donations and annual funding, and encourage our neighbors across the country to support them too.
