The program, known as Kohl&#8217;s Volunteer Program, began in 2001 and was created as a way to encourage associates to volunteer more. The program does this by donating $25 for every volunteer hour tracked by each associate to a partnering 501(c)(3) nonprofit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is Your Organization Eligible for Kohl&#8217;s Volunteer Program?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as your organization is a verified 501(c)(3) and has tax-exempt status with the IRS, it is eligible to register with the program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, not all nonprofits are eligible for the program offered by the retail chain.
