Supporting, Empowering, & Enriching the Lives of Women

TJX has long partnered with organizations committed to helping empower women and enrich their lives. We support programs that provide services ranging from help for those leaving relationship abuse situations, to others that offer education, training, and job placement resources.

TJ Maxx's Maxx You Project is an ongoing initiative that aims to support women in expressing their full selves, and its partnerships with Save the Children and Dress for Success in the U.S. support women in doing just that. In Fiscal 2025, TJ Maxx supported Save the Children in assisting women and caregivers through a variety of custom programs, such as Save the Children's Early Childhood Education programs, Family Action Network, Rural Childcare Network; and enhanced content in their Women’s Empowerment Toolkit, originally launched in 2021. TJ Maxx also provided funding through Maxx You Grants to support childcare assistance and childcare businesses, in addition to its support for parents and caregivers through Save the Children’s Early Steps to School Success program and its support for women pursuing early childhood education qualifications. Additionally, TJ Maxx continued its in-store fundraising campaign, which raised funds to provide educational materials, books, and healthy foods for children in rural America.

In Fiscal 2025, TJ Maxx continued its partnership with Dress for Success in the U.S. to support its mission to help women thrive in work and in life through offering workshops, trainings, style sessions, networking opportunities, and capacity-building for Dress for Success affiliate chapters. In addition, TJ Maxx continued to provide Maxx You Grants to Dress for Success clients to help offset career and educational advancement barriers that women face. Women received grants to access resources and pursue higher education opportunities, such as at colleges, universities, and vocational-technical schools, as well as professional development certifications.

For more than 25 years, TJX has supported programs offering resources for victims of relationship abuse in the U.S. This includes our 15-year partnership with the National Domestic Violence Hotline. The Hotline is a free 24/7 helpline that serves as a link to safety for hundreds of thousands of people annually who are affected by relationship abuse.

Find Your Stride® is WINNERS, HomeSense, and Marshalls in Canada’s charitable initiative focused on helping women facing adversity access the skills they need to move forward and thrive in life. Since the launch of the Find Your Stride initiative in 2019, through a mix of donations from customers and the TJX Canada Foundation, TJX Canada has provided financial assistance, skills-based volunteering, and product donations to its charitable partners to help them deliver:

• Employment skills that help women access the educational and career training they need to succeed in securing stable employment.

• Life skills that help women confidently navigate the road to economic independence, including mental health, well-being, financial literacy, confidence, and self-esteem programs.

Find Your Stride supports organizations like Alice House, Dress for Success Canada Foundation, Petite-Mains, Women in Need Society (WINS), and WoodGreen to provide women and their families with resources and support systems needed to thrive. Examples of initiatives Find Your Stride has supported include:

In Europe, the TK Maxx and Homesense Foundation has supported various organizations aimed at supporting gender equality. In Fiscal 2025, funding supported programs assisting victims of relationship abuse, addressing period poverty, and education around the subject of online violence towards young women. Additionally, TJX Europe helped support The King’s Trust’s Change a Girl’s Life campaign. This funding supported the organization in evolving its programs that aim to help address challenges young women face.
