Our Communities
Caleres has a long history of giving back to the communities where we live and work. Through the Caleres Cares Charitable Trust and employee volunteerism, we are continuously working to serve our neighbors, strengthen our communities, and provide support for those in the footwear industry.
Caleres Cares Charitable Trust
In 1921, our founder, George Warren Brown, established a trust to award funds to charitable organizations. A century later, our Caleres Cares Charitable Trust continues to support worthy organizations that help people live better.
The Trust supports organizations through grants as well as a matching gift program that matches $1 for every $1 an eligible Associate gives to a qualified organization.
Through the Trust, we support charitable organizations that strategically align with our mission, vision, and values, with priority grant funding for initiatives that:
Care for and develop stronger families
Demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion
Share our dedication to a journey toward sustainability
Benefit the St. Louis community in maintaining and attracting businesses and residents by ensuring a rich arts and cultural environment
Support our leadership position in the footwear industry
