Week 3 EOC: Making Money for Good



Making money is typically what companies do, as well as providing goods and services for a cost. What the company does with that money isn’t really any of my concern, but for the sake of this assignment I’m going to talk about the philanthropic side of Target. Target is where my mom goes to get the expensive stuff for affordable prices, which she is too proud to go to Walmart for. I would go for their Vintage looking graphic T-shirts and play around with whatever video games they have for demonstration. On the other hand there is some incredible work that Target does to benefit the communities around them.
For example the provide grants to schools and students that need some financial support and expose them to things such as public safety, the arts, and cultural experiences that the school district simply can’t afford to give. Students can go on field trips and have learning opportunities that extend beyond the classroom for a free or reduced cost admission all funded through Target’s field trip grants. Through a partnership with Ellen DeGeneres they give” 50 needy schools will each receive a $100,000 grant from Target.” The giving doesn’t stop there.
