Kohl’s (NYSE: KSS) announced over $500,000 in total donations to
more than 25 nonprofits serving families in Milwaukee and Waukesha

environmental sustainability, and creating more equitable

“Giving back is at the heart of who we are at Kohl’s, including
right here in our hometown. These grants will help nonprofits
continue to drive meaningful change and further improve the health
and wellness of local families.”

ranging from $5,000 to $25,000; funding is made possible through
