Helping Build Better Futures

Our mission is to deliver great value to our customers every day. For over four decades, our deep commitment to the principles of providing value and caring for others has helped define our culture. It extends beyond the walls of our stores, distribution centers, and offices, and into our local communities around the world. The intersection of these principles defines our global community mission:

Deliver great value to our communities by helping vulnerable families and children access the resources and opportunities they need to build a better future.

Our Approach to Giving Back

Our mission is to deliver great value to our customers every day. For over four decades, our deep commitment to the principles of providing value and caring for others has helped define our culture. It extends beyond the walls of our stores, distribution centers, and offices and into our local communities around the world. The intersection of these principles defines our global community mission:

  • Foundation Giving: Through our three foundations in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, we provided philanthropic grants to more than 2,000 organizations in Fiscal 2023. These grants include support for national charitable groups, donations to local charities when we open a new store, and grants to Associate-nominated organizations. Each of our foundations has its own focus that supports our global community mission to deliver great value to our communities:

  • The TJX Foundation (U.S.):Providing 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 vulnerable women access the skills and support they need so that they and their families can thrive in life.

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

  • Cause Marketing and In-store Fundraising: Our retail chains conduct charitable campaigns that align with one or more of our social impact areas. Some examples include selling merchandise that benefits select organizations, and point-of-sale fundraising.

  • Associate Volunteerism 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 2023, TJX Associates engaged in various efforts to support causes they were passionate about, including fundraising, participating in food and clothing drives, and volunteering to help women and young people access mentoring, education, and workforce opportunities.

Standing For Racial Justice and Creating Opportunities

At TJX, 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 play a key role in our approach to how we support the communities in which we live and work. As a business, we do not tolerate discrimination or hate of any kind, and we remain committed to supporting inclusion and diversity and increased access to opportunities for all.

In support of this position, in 2020, we committed an incremental $10 million in funding, delivered over two years, to provide more direct support to Black communities and other communities of color. We were pleased to expand existing partnerships and create new ones with organizations in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia.

After the close of this two-year commitment, we have continued to support a number of these organizations, working directly with them to understand their needs going forward and fund specific projects and programs that promote and support racial justice and equity.

Commitment to Support Ukraine

In Fiscal 2023, we united with businesses around the world in our condemnation of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. To support the relief efforts providing humanitarian aid to help people impacted by the war, we made donations through our charitable foundations, both in the U.S. and internationally, including: The Polish Red Cross, The American Red Cross, Save the Children, World Central Kitchen, Stowarzyszenie WIOSNA in Poland, The British Red Cross, and The Canadian Red Cross’ Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal. To provide additional support, we conducted a fundraising campaign in our stores around the world. We continue to stand with the people of Ukraine and all those impacted by this crisis, including our Associates.

Disaster Relief

Natural disasters continue to affect communities across the globe, impacting the lives and livelihoods of our customers, our Associates, and our neighbors. For many years, TJX has supported communities in need when unexpected disasters strike. We have contributed generously for more than 25 years to Red Cross chapters across the globe, as well as to other organizations that help local communities rebuild and also provide clean water, safe shelter, and hot meals in the wake of devastating disasters. In Fiscal 2023, the T.K. Maxx and Homesense Foundation donated to the British Red Cross to support their emergency appeal helping those affected by the flooding in Pakistan; these funds helped the Pakistan Red Crescent and the IFRC provide people with essential support, including shelter, food, clean water, and medical aid. In Fiscal 2023, T.K. Maxx Australia helped raise money for the Australian Red Cross to support communities affected by major floods. In addition, TJX Canada donated and helped raise money for the Canadian Red Cross to support those affected by Hurricane Fiona.
