Macy's North Announces New Community Giving Initiative
May 14, 2007
Macy's North will award more than $350,000 to local nonprofit organizations through Macy's Gives Community Grants, a new community giving initiative developed to cultivate stronger partnerships between the community and its neighboring Macy's store.
Each Macy's store is seeking local nonprofits that are focused on enriching the lives of others in the community. The selected organizations that meet Macy's funding guidelines will receive a $4,000 grant to fund programming and serve as the store's community partner for a full year. Throughout the year, Macy's store associates will be available to volunteer with the partner organization. Macy's Gives Community Grant recipients will also have the opportunity to receive additional in-kind support on a case-by-case basis.
The Macy's Gives Community Grants program awards grants to nonprofit organizations that benefit their communities in three areas: education, arts and culture, and health and welfare.
Macy's North awards grants to organizations with 501(c)(3) certification and to units of local government. Grants are awarded based upon an evaluation of achieved results, continuing need and available funds. Macy's does not fund grants for places of worship devoted solely to religious instruction.
Applications will be accepted for consideration through May 31, 2007, and can be picked up at any Macy's North store as well as at macys.com (select Macy's North, then Macy's North Store Grants Application). For additional information, contact 612.375.2300.
Grant funding will be announced in August 2007 and distributed in September 2007.
