three-story staircase, a floating, diaphanous tree sculpture
entitled "Arctic Tree" by the Seattle-based artist John Grade is a nod to the retailer's
Seattle roots.
COMMUNITY
Nordstrom believes we have a responsibility
to give back to the communities we serve, so each year we donate 1%
of our gift card sales to worthy nonprofits in the U.S.,
Canada and Puerto Rico. Our contributions most often take
the form of a cash grant, but we are also proud to partner with
local and national organizations through specific giving programs
and by volunteering our time and resources.
As part of our Men's Store opening and as we continue to expand
our presence in the New York metro
area we have committed $5million
dollars to NYC over the next three years. To stay true to
our Nordstrom Cares mission we plan to support a number of programs
and organizations that care for kids and empower youth, as well as
those that have a significant impact on the community. In the
coming months, Nordstrom will be forming a NYC Community Advisory
Board to attract, vet and award community grants. We are proud to
announce our first grant will be to the Hetrick-Martin Institute,
the nation's oldest, and largest, organization supporting gay,
lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth to
reach their full potential.
