TAKE CHARGE OF EDUCATION® PROGRAM RULES

Qualifying Schools

The Take Charge of Education® program is intended to benefit K-12 schools located in the U.S. having a 501(c)(3) or 509(a)(1) tax-exempt status.

How The Program Works

• Target® Visa® Credit Card, Target Credit Card^® and eligible Target Business Card® accounts can sign up for the Take Charge of Education program by calling 1-800-316-6142 or by visiting Target.com/tcoe or an in-store kiosk. The primary cardholder of a Target Check Card^® can sign up for the Take Charge of Education program by calling 1-800-316-6142.
• Designate an eligible K-12 school, and Target donates an amount equal to one percent (1%) of your Target Visa Credit Card, Target Credit Card, Target Check Card or Target Business Card purchases (minus returns and sales tax) at any Target store and Target.com, and one-half percent (1/2%) of your Target Visa Credit Card purchases made (not including cash advances, balance transfers, and purchases of other cash equivalents, and minus returns and sales tax) everywhere else Visa credit cards are accepted.
• Target will track purchases made on participating Target Visa Credit Cards, Target Credit Cards, Target Check Cards and Target Business Cards and will distribute the accumulated donations to schools in September.

General Conditions
• Only one school may be designated for each Target Visa Credit Card account, Target Credit Card account, Target Business Card account and Target Check Card. For the Target Check Card, only the primary cardholder can designate the K-12 school, and that designation will apply to any authorized users. For the Target Business Card, only the primary contact on the account can sign up and designate the K-12 school to receive the donation.
• Schools must meet the eligibility requirements described above.
• Donation amounts begin to accrue when the school designation is processed. The school donation will only be made for Target Visa Credit Card accounts, Target Credit Card accounts and Target Business Card accounts that are open and in good standing at the time donations are distributed to eligible schools. The school donation will only be made for Target Check Cards that are open and have no unpaid electronic fund transfers at the time the donation is distributed to the eligible schools.
• School donations through the Take Charge of Education program are not tax deductible.
• Target Business Card accounts can sign up to participate in the Take Charge of Education program only if they are an educational organization and obtain approval from Target to participate in the program.
• Checks will not be mailed to schools if the payout is less than $25 (payouts under $25 will carry over to the next payment period). Checks must be cashed before the expiration on the check. Checks are considered rejected if not cashed by their expiration.
• Target reserves the right to discontinue or alter the terms of this program at any time.
