The TJX Foundation - Mission Statement
The TJX Foundation has a primary mission of contributing to programs that provide basic-need services to disadvantaged women,
children and families in communities in which we do business.
The Foundation seeks to support charities which conform to the following guidelines:
-
Civic / Community: Emphasis will be on programs that teach disadvantaged persons independent living skills, and improve race / cultural relations.
-
Domestic Violence Prevention: Support will target immediate emergency services and shelter accommodations for victims and family members affected by abusive situations as well as programming that works to break the cycle of violence.
-
Education: Support will go to programs that provide academic and vocational opportunities for the disadvantaged - including early-intervention, mentoring, tutoring, GED, and college coursework as well as programs that teach people to speak, read and write English.
-
Health: We support programs that provide early and comprehensive prenatal services and healthy baby education. We also consider funding for medical research that furthers the treatment of, or eliminates the impact of, congenital or chronic diseases.
-
Social Services: Disadvantaged children and families will be the chief beneficiaries of these contributions. We will give to programs that strengthen the family unit, along with the parent-child relationship, offer food and clothing assistance, provide counseling, youth development or adoption services. We will also support programs that directly help those with mental or physical impairments.
