Corporate Citizen of the Year Winner
Kohl’s Corp.
N56 W17000 Ridgewood Drive, Menomonee Falls
Giving back is at the heart of Kohl’s Corp.’s company culture.
Nationwide, the company is committed to supporting families and organizations throughout the communities where it does business.
It also supports 15 Hometown Partner organizations and five Affiliate Partners annually with grants and gifts of time and talent.
These gifts are often multi-year commitments that support the development and execution of community-focused programs.
“Giving back is at the heart of who we are, and beyond the dollars and cents that we give here in Milwaukee, the passion of our associates that we see through our volunteer program is really our trademark representation of that.”
— Tara Geiter, director of community relations, Kohl’s Department Stores
