This GivingTuesday, Kohl’s (NYSE: KSS) is announcing $5 million in grants to 200 nonprofits nationwide in support of improving family health and wellness. Each nonprofit was encouraged to apply by a Kohl’s associate.

“From regional food banks and youth education programming to nonprofits supporting mental health and family wellness, Kohl’s is proud to donate $5 million in grants to 200 organizations across the country this GivingTuesday,” said Christie Raymond, Kohl’s chief marketing officer. “Giving back in the communities where we live and work is a core part of who we are at Kohl’s and we’re grateful for the organizations that are taking action to improve family health and wellness nationwide.”

Funding is made possible through Kohl’s Cares® Goods for Good, which sells children’s books and toys and donates 100 percent of the net profit to health and wellness organizations nationwide. In total, Kohl’s has donated more than $29 million to nonprofits through this giving program since 2018.
