Educators in the Grand Rapids area are encouraged to apply for funding at <a href="https://email.emailbrave.com/c/eJxkyztuwzAMANDTWKPBj34cNHTxPSiKTgwkbmELOX_Ruft7oymiDQnesNTMWTByeDaQMaAXZFLoojWRqnWwMUB8dApHI6AMFQGZBXjdNQ9nLgl2cGFbIvhbj1e_9OOrfb_Dqz3n_LkX_lpoW2h7XHrOe516Pvz6Ewtt4WrHOf067_9_Ni0ZTAt2UeARd-kUOaEWVYuUSpiNqkG2nHdlSbVY7OwVkziaO6U9fBr9BgAA__8U0EgJ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">grants.tanger.com</a> from Aug. 17 through Oct. 18.
The TangerKids Grants Program gives teachers and education leaders across the country the opportunity to identify classroom and school needs and request funding for programs that support student success. Grants may be used for initiatives that enhance learning environments, improve accessibility, address student needs and provide additional resources for schools and classrooms. Faculty members at public and private schools serving pre-K through grade 12 students are eligible to apply.
For 30 years, Tanger has invested in education by providing more than $3.9 million in grants to schools and educational programs across the communities it serves through 38 outlet centers and four open-air lifestyle centers. In 2025, TangerKids Grants awarded an estimated $200,000 to initiatives throughout the U.S. and Canada, with a focus on supporting inclusive classroom environments, underserved schools and programs that address evolving student needs.
Grant winners for 2026 in each community will be announced and celebrated during the center’s annual TangerKids Day in January 2027.
