Nordstrom Expands Holiday Giving Campaign To Include Four Partners And A Goal Of $1 Million Dollars

SEATTLE, Dec. 3, 2019 – This Giving Tuesday, leading fashion retailer Nordstrom, Inc. announced it is continuing its tradition of giving back during the holiday season by partnering with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals), the Good+Foundation, Big Brother Big Sisters of America and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada. This holiday, with the help of its customers and employees, Nordstrom has set a goal to raise more than $1M for these organizations.

“Historically, Nordstrom selects one charitable partner for the holiday season that aligns with our commitment to give back to nonprofits that care for kids and empower youth. This year, we’ve expanded that commitment to include three organizations.” said Scott Meden, chief marketing officer of Nordstrom. “These organizations provide valuable services and support in each of the communities where we do business. This holiday season, our customers and employees are coming together to give a gift that will help kids across the country.”

Each year, Nordstrom donates millions of dollars to hundreds of nonprofit organizations across the U.S. and Canada, with the majority of giving focused on organizations and programs that empower youth, support children and care for families. In 2018, Nordstrom supported more than 600 organizations and $12M in the communities where the company does business.

Starting today through Dec. 31., customers can:

1. Support local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals by contributing or buying a giving tag at Nordstrom stores in the U.S., Canada, and Nordstrom Locals in Los Angeles. All donations will help raise funds and awareness for the 170 Children’s Hospitals in North America that provide 32 million treatments to children each year. Customers can also make an online donation at Nordstrom.com/CMNH.
