Texas City, Texas (Jan. 22, 2025) — As part of a continued commitment to support education and invest in the local community, Tanger Outlets Houston announces its 2024 TangerKids Grants recipients. Local winners include Darwin L. Gilmore Elementary’s Flexible Seating for More Engaged Learners, Hughes Road Elementary’s Sensory Pathways and RJ Wollam Elementary’s Bee A Coder.

Tanger will donate over $190K across the country to fund classroom investments through the TangerKids 2024 Grants program. Title 1 schools represent more than 60% of the recipients selected by Tanger centers.   

“Tanger Houston is proud to support families in our community by investing in student success,” said Tanger Houston General Manager Jay Marmo. “Each year, we listen closely to the specific needs of our local educators and provide funding for projects that make a real difference. Over the years, we’ve seen firsthand how these grants help create more inclusive and productive learning environments, equipping students with the tools they need to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.”

Throughout the program’s history spanning nearly 30 years, Tanger has contributed more than $3.7 million to school-focused initiatives in the communities it serves. The annual program is eligible for public and private schools from pre-K to grade 12. Applications were open from Aug. 12 – Oct. 18, 2024, and winners were chosen from numerous applicants within the Houston Metroplex area.    

Tanger Houston will celebrate TangerKids Day on Jan. 31 with check presentations to grant winners in their classrooms.
