Best Buy takes great pride community involvement. While we especially focus on supporting and providing opportunities for teens through our @15 program, we also empower our store teams to evaluate any donations requests that might come from the communities in which they operate.
For an organization to be eligible to apply for a donation, they must be a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit or a public agency, within 50 miles of the local Best Buy store, and somehow serve children in grades K-12. Some example categories of requests that might be considered would be:
- Schools
- Libraries
- After-school programs
- Educational programs for K-12 students
What we do not fund:
- Individuals
- Endowments
- Fraternal organizations or social clubs
- Units of government or quasi-governmental agencies
- Labor organizations or political campaigns
- Organizations designed primarily for lobbying
- For-profit organizations or travel programs
- Sole support of operating or advertising expenses
- Religious organizations for religious purposes
- Health, medical, or therapeutic programs or living subsidies
