As part of its ongoing dedication to education and community impact, Bridge Street Town Centre, A Tanger Property, recently announced and awarded its 2025 TangerKids Grants, an annual program that benefits schools in the Huntsville area. Local winners included: Morris Elementary School for its special education program; Mountain Gap School for its Bear Care Closet; Columbia High School for its Eagles Essentials Closet of Care, which provides essentials to students in need; and Madison Elementary School for its kindergarten reading program.

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.

“Bridge Street Town Centre remains committed to helping students succeed across our community,” said Marcie Glover, Marketing Director at Bridge Street. “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 Huntsville area.
