Does Best Buy donate to fundraisers?

Best Buy considers corporate funding requests for sponsorships and partnership opportunities that offer shared value for communities and Best Buy.

Funding is typically for opportunities with a partnership component, such as sponsorships, events, or initiatives with defined visibility or engagement benefits, community partnerships tied to shared priorities and measurable outcomes, and opportunities aligning with Best Buy's business and brand.

The review process has two steps: an initial eligibility and fit check, followed by a possible invitation to submit additional information if there is a strong fit.
