About this foundation

Ross' corporate giving program focuses on supporting organizations that build academic achievement and life skills for economically disadvantaged youth. The site describes two programs: a Regional Giving Program (direct grants via a two-stage LOI → invited proposal process) and a Store-Based Giving Program (local support, primarily gift cards). The Regional program accepts Letters of Inquiry through an online portal and awards one-year grants of $10,000, $20,000, or $30,000. Grant cycles and geographic service areas are listed; selected organizations are invited to submit full proposals online.
