Our Approach to Giving Back

We are a global business with stores located on three continents and in thousands of communities around the world. Supporting these communities where our Associates live and work is important to us and there are several ways in which we offer our support, including:

  • Foundation Giving: Through our three foundations in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, we have provided philanthropic grants to thousands of organizations over the years. These grants included support for national charitable groups and donations to local charities. Each of our foundations has its own focus that supports our global community relations mission:

  • The TJX Foundation (U.S.): Delivering great value to our communities by helping vulnerable families and children access the resources and opportunities they need to build a better future.

  • The TJX Canada Foundation (Canada): Helping women facing adversity access the skills they need to move forward and thrive in life.

  • The TK Maxx and Homesense Foundation (Europe): Helping vulnerable children, young people, and their families to achieve their potential in our local communities.

  • Cause Marketing and In-store Fundraising: Our retail chains conduct charitable campaigns that support various nonprofit organizations. Some examples include selling merchandise that benefits select organizations, point-of-sale fundraising, or direct donations.

  • Associate Volunteerism, Engagement, and Giving: Associates contribute to the success of many of our programs through charity nominations, volunteerism, and in-store fundraising events, as well as through their own donations. Throughout Fiscal 2025, TJX Associates engaged in various efforts to support causes they were passionate about, including participating in food and clothing donation drives; hosting events to pack kits and boxes with supplies, clothing, and more; participating in bike rides and walks to raise money; and supporting education and workforce opportunities. Additionally, TJX Associates in the U.S., Europe, and Canada have the opportunity to nominate local organizations to receive grants from our foundations. In Fiscal 2025, TJX supported more than 1,400 Associate Nominated Grants, which have included focuses on education, medical care, food insecurity, and providing support for people with disabilities.

We believe it is important to collaborate with our community partners to understand the evolving needs in our communities. We regularly discuss the impact they believe our support has had and how we can continue to make a difference.

Other Ways We Give

Our core values of honesty, integrity, and treating each other with dignity and respect have been at the heart of our business since the beginning. These values combined with our community relations mission play a key role in our approach to how we support communities. In addition to our giving strategies mentioned above, we consider other ways we might give to be responsive to current needs:

  • Disaster Relief: TJX supports communities in need when unexpected disasters strike. We have contributed generously for over 25 years to Red Cross chapters worldwide and to other organizations that help local communities rebuild and provide clean water, safe shelter, and hot meals in the wake of devastating disasters. In addition to our support of the Red Cross, in Fiscal 2025, The TJX Foundation donated to World Central Kitchen and the Red Cross in response to hurricanes in the southeastern U.S. to help provide hunger relief and aid to those impacted. The TJX Foundation also supported communities in Los Angeles, California that were impacted by the devastating fires through donations to World Central Kitchen and to the LA Regional Food Bank. These donations helped to provide meals to first responders and affected families in the area. The TK Maxx and Homesense Foundation donated to the Austrian, Polish, and Spanish Red Cross to support their emergency appeals helping those affected by flooding in those countries.

  • Inclusion & Diversity: As a business, we do not tolerate discrimination or harassment, as referenced in our Global Code of Conduct, and we continue to support inclusion and diversity and increased access to opportunities for all. As part of these efforts, TJX provides support to under-resourced communities, collaborating with existing partners, and establishing new relationships with organizations in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia. We also continue to support an inclusive and diverse workplace; learn more about this work in our Inclusion and Diversity page.
