Due to the high volume of requests, we will not be able to fund all organizations that fit our giving guidelines and mission. We take our commitment to our communities very seriously and would like to fulfill all the requests we receive. Unfortunately, we receive many more appeals for support than we are able to satisfy. When an organization is not invited to apply or a request is denied, it is not a reflection of our view of the organization’s value.
TJX reserves the right to make all determinations regarding the organizations and programs that we support.
