Target's DEI rollback raises questions about the retail giant's philanthropic commitments
Target's rollback on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives is raising questions about the retail giant's philanthropic commitment to fighting racial disparities and promoting progressive values in liberal Minneapolis, where it is based, and beyond. Target and the Target Foundation have made six-figure donations in recent years to groups working on Black economic empowerment and LGBTQ+ acceptance. "Racial equity" is still listed as a cornerstone of the foundation's local grantmaking. But some fundraisers now wonder whether those types of gifts remain a primary concern for the brand, as Target joins other major American companies in curtailing internal DEI efforts attacked most prominently by President Donald Trump's administration. "Billions of dollars are spent annually on DEI, but rather than reducing bias and promoting inclusion, DEI creates and then amplifies prejudicial hostility and exacerbates interpersonal conflict," The White House said in a statement accompanying Trump's executive orders. Corporations — including Walmart, Amazon and Meta — are retreating from policies intended to counter discrimination, many of which were implemented after the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd, a Black man, in 2020. Philanthropic advisors say the conservative backlash is also chilling support from some funders who fear that backing race-based nonprofit work could bring legal challenges like the one that successfully shuttered the Fearless Fund's grant contest for Black women business owners. Target announced Jan. 24 that it would conclude the DEI goals previously set to increase Black employees' representation and advancement, improve Black shoppers' experiences and promote Black-owned businesses. The company plans to stop submitting reports to external diversity surveys and named Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index as an example. It is also "further evaluating our corporate partnerships to ensure they are directly connected to our roadmap for growth," according to a memo posted on its website. Target did not share publicly what those changes meant for its philanthropy — which totaled $384 million last year in cash and products from the corporation and its foundation, according to the company. In response to an Associated Press inquiry, the company described philanthropy as "a key way Target engages with communities, whether in our hometown of Minneapolis-St. Paul, in the communities surrounding our stores, or in the countries where our supply chain exists." A company spokesperson told AP that the "recent update does not impact Target Foundation giving" but added that, "as always, the foundation will continue to evaluate how it best supports organizations, coalitions and networks." Also unchanged is the Target Circle community giving program that allows loyalty members to decide which nonprofits the company supports. Target did not say what impact the internal changes might have on its corporate giving. "Whenever you see corporate leadership making shifts in priorities, it worries folks in the foundation space about what impacts that might have on both existing giving and future initiatives," said OutFront Minnesota Executive Director Kat Rohn, who said their LGBTQ+ advocacy group is not a Target partner. The changes have already influenced how one longtime partner sees their relationship. Twin Cities Pride Executive Director Andi Otto said he learned about the changes when he contacted Target about re-upping its sponsorship of his nonprofit's programming celebrating the LGBTQ community. Target had consistently contributed around $50,000, Otto said. As he pitched Target on recommitting this year, Otto said he was asked to set up a meeting with company leaders. On the call, according to Otto, executives explained that they still wanted to sponsor Twin Cities Pride but let him know they would be removing internal DEI policies. Otto said he appreciated the "heads up" but chose to reject Target's sponsorship after his board discussed the impact of the company's moves on the community they serve. Inclusion falls by the wayside when there aren't checks to ensure it, he added. "It isn't always just about the money that they give to us as a nonprofit, but it's about what they are doing for the community in getting small, BIPOC- or LGBTQ-owned businesses into their stores and giving them a platform to do so," Otto said. Twin Cities Pride had seen this coming. Otto recalled that Target didn't carry Pride Month merchandise at its stores last June after the collection received backlash in 2023 and said the nonprofit feared things would "just continue down that slope." Progressive activists are now calling for a boycott of Target. Nina Turner's working-class advocacy group We Are Somebody is asking customers to instead purchase directly from minority-owned brands. At least one Black-owned brand, Oh Happy Dani, has begun "the process of removing our remaining products from Target shelves," according to a LinkedIn update from founder Danielle Cook Balfour. Corporate philanthropy can be a reliable source of significant nonprofit funding. Target has long had a very significant presence in the Twin Cities and is notable for its support of education, arts and other diversity efforts. Target and the Target Foundation together were the fifth-largest corporate giver in the state in 2022, according to the Minnesota Council on Foundations. But Rohn, the LGBTQ advocate and fundraiser, said corporate philanthropy can sometimes put nonprofits in a "tough spot" by pitting their values against the need to sustain their programs. She expects that more nonprofits will step back from corporate relationships — as Twin Cities Pride did — when their missions no longer align with their sponsors. To that point, Twin Cities Pride shared Monday that more than $50,000 had been raised since the nonprofit cut Target as a sponsor. Individuals donated more than half the total, according to Otto. The Minneapolis Foundation also contributed. "Right now, all of us in the LGBTQ nonprofit sector are afraid because we don't know what companies will choose to do and what the outcome is going to be," Otto said. "I think everybody right now agrees that it was the best decision to make, and that (if) we stick together, we'll see things on the other side."

Suite Talk: Target's Amanda Nusz on Prioritizing Personal Well-being and Serving Others With Intention
With a more than 25-year tenure at Target, Amanda Nusz has been instrumental in many developments within the company. And while she has held many titles through the years, the now senior vice president of essentials and beauty, merchandising for Target has always had her finger on the pulse of well-being — for herself and others. Nusz's roles at Target have included vice president of quality and responsible sourcing in Target's global sourcing organization, where she ensured that Target's vendors and suppliers operated safe, ethical and efficient factory environments and produced high-quality, sustainable, safe products and president of the Target Foundation. She was also integral in working with Isaac Mizrahi for Target in 2003, partnering with globally recognized designers including Alexander McQueen and leading development for Target's owned brand, Cat & Jack. More from WWD The 16 Best Face Exfoliators for Smooth, Radiant Skin, According to Dermatologists Salone del Planning Saudi Edition as Italian Design Firms Expand Retail Footprint Keeping It Real: Retail Buyers Love the Elevated Everyday for Fall Measuring success by the positive impact work has on others, Nusz told WWD that she thoughtfully considers well-being, making sure her holistic routine balances wellness, gratitude and collaboration. Here, Nusz talks to WWD about nailing down her personal wellness routine, proud career moments and what she's watching in retail today. WWD: What is the first thing you do in the morning? Amanda Nusz: The first thing I do in the morning is drink a tall glass of water. Then, I take my daily Ritual Essential for Women vitamin. I try to sneak in yoga if I can, but I find that using that time to make breakfast for my kids before they go to school nourishes me as much as it does them. Usually, it's as simple as oatmeal, fruit and Bloom Nutrition Greens and Superfood. WWD: What is your wellness routine 'must'? A.N.: I am a creature of habit with, thankfully, mostly healthy habits during the week. Over the years, I have established sleep, eating and movement routines that center joy, fun and laughter in my day-to-day. Laughter is such an important part of my health routine, made much easier by my mother, who lives with us and always makes us laugh, especially as she fights for that number-one spot every day on Duolingo. Beyond laughter and yoga, there are a few healthy supplements I love: Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides (it makes my hair shine) and Ka'Chava's All-In-One Nutrition Shake — it's an easy way to increase my protein intake. I love to move, so I take the stairs whenever possible, even with luggage at the airport. But I also strive to take a few moments during the day to slow down and breathe, to improve focus and to ground myself. One habit that has been with me since childhood is writing or saying aloud what I'm grateful for each day. It seems cliché, but it is a fantastic mood booster. If a friend comes to mind during this gratitude practice, I try to reach out right away to connect. This network of friends and family and coworkers really helps to soften the stresses in my day. WWD: What does having a work/life balance mean to you? A.N.: I realized many years ago that personal growth and positive impact on people motivates me at the highest level, which is my north star in how I plan my day and measure my success. Nothing drives me more than helping and learning from the team as we work towards our shared goals, and this motivation is made successful when you first value yourself as a person versus attaching your self-worth to your job or title. I prioritize my well-being so I can serve others with intention. WWD: Looking throughout your career, what is a project/launch/product that you are most proud of? A.N.: I joined Target as a college student and have worked in various roles here throughout the years. There are many firsts that I'm humbled to have participated in — one career highlight was contributing to the creation of the multibillion-dollar kids brand, Cat & Jack, which focused on delivering joyful, family-focused playwear with positive messaging, amazing design, affordability and built-in sustainability attributes. To this day, I still hear from families who love the brand as much as us. WWD: What is a /tech trend that you're excited to see coming to life right now? A.N.: One trend that's not necessarily new but continues to rise to the top for me is providing consumers with a personalized shopping experience, whether that be in-store or online. I'm really proud of how connected our shopping experience is at Target — we're providing consumers with a curated experience, allowing them to easily discover, learn and shop our assortment. For example, we've upgraded our tech offerings by launching a Beauty Studio on featuring virtual try-ons for eyes, lips and face, skin diagnostics and a foundation finder. WWD: What is your ideal shopping retail experience? A.N.: My ideal retail experience is one that allows me to seamlessly merge my day-to-day with getting what I need quickly and easily. Sometimes that's placing an online order for DriveUp and other times it's browsing the aisles and discovering our latest offerings across the store. Target makes shopping trips easy by providing consumers with a curated experience, allowing them to easily discover, learn and shop our assortment. For example, we know our guests are thinking about their well-being routines more, so we've intentionally curated in-store displays incorporating our newest wellness items across categories like our exclusive Blogilates collection. WWD: When was the last time you treated yourself and what was it? A.N.: Someone gave me the Naturium Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Wash — it is so good. I gifted it to my mom and sister for the holidays. It is formulated with hydrating ingredients that lock in moisture, which is crucial during the winter months here in the Midwest. Also, I love a Minneapolis spa that has a cold plunge. This affection for the chill must come from my Finnish roots and my father, who believed that water would make everything better.
