Best Buy Foundation

We're on a mission to build brighter futures.

By investing in tech access, career training and vibrant communities, the Best Buy Foundation™ creates opportunities for young people to unlock their potential and pursue their dreams.

Initiatives like Best Buy Teen Tech Centers™ and community-centered grants ensure teens from underserved communities get access, inspiration and opportunity to support their educational and career success.

Our Initiatives

Best Buy Teen Tech Centers™

Our signature initiative is the Best Buy Teen Tech Center® program, a network of creative, youth-centered community hubs where teens can engage with the latest technology, learn real-world career skills, and interact with safe and supportive mentors.

Grantmaking

We support nonprofit community-based organizations around the country that align with our mission to connect teens with tech and tech training and foster creative youth expression. We channel specific funds to organizations that contribute to the vibrancy of our hometown communities in Minneapolis-St. Paul and Seattle.
