Target Red CardIt works like this.
Take Charge of Education* is an exclusive benefit of the Target REDcard® program. Your school supporters apply for the REDcard, and select the eligible K–12 school of their choice. When they shop at Target or Target.com the cardholder benefits with 5%* savings, and Target will donate 1% of eligible REDcard purchases to your school. Then, the school spends the money you receive on the things your school needs: from books and band uniforms to reading programs and field trips--anything that can use a little extra funding. The best part? It’s easy! Teachers, parents, grandparents, alumni, friends, neighbors — anyone who supports your school is welcome. The more people involved, the harder the program works, so get started. Simply visit Target.com/TCOE or call 1-800-316-6142 to designate your school, then encourage your community to sign up. Use the tools and resources online to help you spread the word. |
In addition to 5% everyday savings, your school supporters will enjoy these additional REDcard benefits:
• Free Shipping* at Target.com • Extended Return Policy*--30 extra days for REDcard guests • Online Account Management Apply for a REDcard today in store or at Target.com/REDcard |
