As part of its ongoing dedication to education and community impact, Tanger Outlets Branson has announced the recipients of its 2025 TangerKids Grants. Local winners include Forsyth High School - Supporting social-emotional wellness program; Reeds Spring Primary School - Sensory Success and Learning Through Play; and Buchanan Elementary - Sensory Needs for Special Needs.

Through its TangerKids 2025 Grants program, Tanger is donating more than $200,000 to fund 176 grants on behalf of 37 Tanger shopping centers. These funds will be used to support schools and educational programs in local communities across the U.S. and Canada.

“Tanger Branson remains committed to helping students succeed across our community,” said Tanger Branson Marketing Director Julie Wilson. “By listening closely to local schools and educators, we’re able to support projects that respond to real, on-the-ground needs. TangerKids Grants help create inclusive, engaging learning environments and give students the resources they need to thrive – both in the classroom and beyond.”

Throughout the program’s history spanning nearly 30 years, Tanger has contributed more than $3.9 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. 11 – Oct. 18, 2025, and grant recipients were chosen from numerous applicants within the southwest Missouri area.
