How The CarMax Foundation is Making a Diffference

The CarMax Foundation is making a difference in our community. This foundation enables CarMax employees to promote education, wellness and youth leadership all around their own neighborhoods.

The CarMax Foundation was established in 2003 and accomplishes their goal by providing volunteers, giving grants to nonprofit organizations and through matching gifts. The foundation is committed to involving their employees in philanthropic efforts. They look for organizations that are well-managed, transparent, show positive results and benefit the community.

Volunteers are one of the most important pieces of the foundation. The CarMax Foundation allows their employees to volunteer at worthwhile local causes. Those causes then become eligible for a grant from the foundation. CarMax Foundation matches gifts given by their employees. The foundation also uses each CarMax location as a fund raising location three times per year.

Education is very important to the CarMax Foundation. The foundation promotes educational opportunities, gives educational grants for after school programs, technical and environmental education. There are youth leadership grants available for youth leadership camps, teen development classes and mentoring programs. Lastly, grants are available for physical activity programs, healthy living and nutrition.

CarMax Foundation members.
CarMax is a huge, national car company, but they have found a way to have an impact on each of their local communities through the CarMax Foundation. If you have a volunteer organization you should look them up. If you would like to volunteer and aren’t sure how you can help call them. Extra Attic hopes you can take advantage of all the opportunities made available through this wonderful organization.
