Claim: Multiple — see below:

Status:

* The Target Corporation does not contribute to veterans' causes: False.

* The Target Corporation is French-owned: False.

* The Target Corporation provides corporate grants only for 'gay and lesbian causes': False.

* The Target Corporation does not contribute to the U.S. Marines 'Toys for Tots' program: False.

* The Target Corporation does not allow reservists called to active duty to continue their health benefits: False.
