It’s called Take Charge of Education, and it’s helping our school right now. 

Here’s how it works: Visit Target.com/tcoe or call 1-800-316-6142 to designate our school, then use your REDcard whenever you shop. When you use your REDcard™ (Target¨ Visa¨ Credit Card, or Target Check Card¨), Target will donate up to 1% of your purchases to the eligible K–12 school of your choice*. 

Don’t have a REDcard? It’s easy to apply. Get started in person at any Target store or go to Target.com/redcard. 

Grandparents, alumni, friends and neighbors are all welcome to participate in the program. The more people we involve, the harder the program works for our school. If you’re already participating, thank you! 

Check out Ames’ progress anytime at Target.com/tcoe. 

*Subject to Take Charge of Education program rules. Target donates an amount equal to 1% of Target Visa Credit Card, Target Credit Card and Target Check Card purchases you make at Target and Target.com, and 1Ú2% of Target Visa Credit Card purchases you make everywhere else Visa credit cards are accepted, to the eligible K–12 school of your choice.
