Target – Possible Grantmaker for Your Library?

The Erie, PA Target considers the 14701 zip code area to be part of their service area since so many customers from 14701 shop there.

“Being a good neighbor is a big part of our philosophy. One of the ways we connect with the communities where we do business is through grants from our stores. Each year, Target store grants help K-12 schools and nonprofit organizations bring arts and cultural experiences to students, provide support for educational field trips and fund early childhood reading programs.”
