As part of a continued commitment to support education and invest in the local community, Tanger Outlets Gonzales announces its 2024 TangerKids Grants recipients. Local winners include Kimberly Irvin of Lowery Elementary for ID Store (Incentive Den Store), Andrea Sibille of Prairieville Middle School for Inclusive Library Initiative for students with disabilities and Morgan Green of St. Amant High School for Cultivating Collaborations for Pre-Educators.

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 Gonzales is proud to support families in our community by investing in student success,” said Tanger Gonzales General Manager/Marketing Director Angela Lafleur. “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 Ascension Parish area.

Tanger Gonzales will celebrate TangerKids Day on Jan. 31 with a check presentation at Lowery Elementary, Prairieville Middle and St. Amant High School.
