Target Giving Circle Program
Support KidsMatter with our new Target Giving Circle Campaign! Target Circle is Target®’s loyalty program, where guests can sign up for the program for free online or in the Target app. One of the perks is that they can earn votes and cast votes for nonprofits in their area (based on their selected store location) online at target.com/circle or in the Target® App as they shop. At the end of each 90-day campaign, Target® tallies up all the votes and gives each participating nonprofit a grant based on the percentage of votes they received in their assigned market.
