Overview: The Dayton family that established the Dayton-Hudson-Target Stores empire, also established
the 5% Club, honoring corporations which charitably distribute 5% of their pre-tax profits. While the 5% Club
still exists, the number of members are dwindling and most corporations are proud to distribute 1.5% or 2%
of pre-tax earnings.
Currently, the Foundation only awards grants to organizations in its homestate of Minnesota. Organizations
in other states need to apply through their local Mervyn's or Target Stores or through the Target Corporate
Giving Program.
The Foundation supports arts programs and cultural organizations that promote visibility and accessibility at
a community level. The foundation also provides support for social service programs that address the basic
needs of individuals or families at risk by providing shelter, food, and clothing.
