If your area has a TJ Maxx or Marshalls, you could apply for a range of grants focusing on low-income families, domestic violence, children and youth.  The TJX Foundation focuses its charitable giving on programs that provide basic-need services to disadvantaged women, children, and families in communities with a TJX presence.  Eligibility is limited to 501C-3 non-profits.  Other TJX stores are HomeGoods, Winners, AJ Wright, and HomeSense.

As a first step, potential applicants should fill out a brief questionnaire at http://www.tjx.com/responsibility/our-communities/tjx-foundation-us.html Once a potential applicant completes the questionnaire, the organization will be contacted if it meets eligibility requirements in the application form.
