The CarMax Foundation

The CarMax Foundation promotes education, youth leadership, and wellness in the communities where our Associates live and work.

The CarMax Foundation

Connecting Associates with each other and the community

The CarMax Foundation was established in 2003 to support the communities where our Associates live and work. Over the past several years, we've accomplished our goal by providing volunteers, matching gifts, and grants to worthy nonprofit organizations.

CarMax Associates really do make a difference. With help from The CarMax Foundation, we'll continue to support our mission and your community.
