Tanger Outlets Daytona Beach has launched its 2024 TangerKids Grants Program and it's inviting local schools to apply.

Volusia County teachers and leaders within the education community may identify their needs and request funding to enhance programs. Applications are open through Oct. 18.

Throughout the program’s almost 30-year history, Tanger has contributed more than $3.4 million to school-focused initiatives in the communities it serves, according to a press release. In 2023, Tanger awarded $168,000 to fund over 140 grants to schools and programs across the U.S., supporting equipment upgrades, inclusion initiatives, interactive learning spaces, hygiene and clothing closets, literacy efforts, STEM and more.

This year, Tanger has earmarked 70% of total grants for support of underserved schools, accessibility programs and student needs. Faculty members at public and private schools from pre-K to grade 12 are eligible to participate in the annual program.

Tanger Daytona Beach shoppers will again be invited to help choose grant winners in their community through Member’s Choice voting, which will be open Dec. 2-13. Award recipients will be announced in January 2025 and celebrated at the center’s annual TangerKids Day.
