About MICHAELS CARES

Michaels CARES is a 501(c)(3) employee assistance charity (tax‑exempt since 2007) that raises funds primarily from Michaels team‑member payroll donations, company fundraising events, and corporate contributions to provide immediate cash grants to Michaels team members facing unforeseen emergencies.

The program operates nationally for eligible Michaels team members (including part‑time, temporary, and seasonal employees after a short eligibility period) and is governed by a volunteer board of team‑member representatives that reviews and approves grant requests. Recent IRS filings show the charity received several hundred thousand dollars in contributions in 2024–2025 and continues to distribute emergency grants to qualifying employees.

Michaels CARES is administered in coordination with Michaels corporate programs and is described on Michaels’ corporate social responsibility pages and employee benefits materials; program documents (application and FAQs) specify eligibility rules, typical grant uses, and limits including a lifetime grant cap per team member.
