Kohl's Cares for the Communities We Serve
As a family focused, value-oriented company, Kohl's strives to be an active member of each community where it does business. Through charitable giving and volunteer programs for kids' health and education and environmental initiatives, Kohl's makes our neighborhoods happier, healthier, greener places to live and work. Kohl's supports local communities through its Kohl's Cares philanthropic programs which include:

• Kohl's Cares Cause Merchandise Program, which sells special merchandise including books and plush toys for $5 each, and donates 100 percent of the net profit to benefit children's health and education initiatives nationwide. This year, the program celebrates its tenth anniversary, and since its inception in 2000, has raised more than $150 million. New this fall, special Kohl's Carescause merchandise supporting women's health is available online at Kohls.com. The net profit from the sale of this merchandise will benefit the fight against breast cancer.
• In recognition of the tenth anniversary of the Kohl's Cares philanthropic program, Kohl's Cares will give half a million dollars to 20 schools each this year, a total of $10 million.
• Kohl's Scholarship Program, which recognizes and rezards youth volunteerism. In 2010, the Kohl's scholarship program awarded more than $410,000 in scholarships and prizes to more than 2,100 kids across the country.
• Kohl's Associates in Action, a program where associates volunteer for local, youth-focused nonprofit organizations and Kohl's then matches their volunteer efforts with corporate grants. Last year, as a result of our associates' volunteer efforts, Kohl's donated more than $10 million to nonprofits across the country under this program.
• Kohl's Cares Fundraising Gift Cards, which provide an opportunity for schools and youth-serving organizations to raise money. The gift cards are sold by nonprofit groups and up to five percent of the total card purchase price goes to the nonprofit.
