Circuit City Stores Inc. contributes to its communities in a number of ways through its Heart of the City initiative. Launched on May 7, 2006, this program is designed to harness the power of its Associates to take care of our communities and respond to emergencies through financial support and volunteerism. Heart of the City primarily supports three philanthropic programs:
  • United Way: Circuit City continues its longstanding support of this important agency that supports many vital community charities.

  • Boys & Girls Clubs of America's ImageMakers: Since 2000, Circuit City Foundation has partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to sponsor ImageMakers, a national youth photography program. The program offers a photography curriculum, resource guides, volunteer programs, local, regional and national judging and scholarships. ImageMakers supports the mission of more than 3,100 Boys & Girls Clubs across the country. This collaboration provides an opportunity for Boys & Girls Clubs and Circuit City Stores nationwide to form a unique partnership that will benefit at-risk youth while giving Associates the opportunity to participate in the charitable work the company supports.

  • Helping Hands Fund: Inspired by Associate response to the Gulf Coast hurricanes of 2006, Circuit City has created this fund to enable Circuit City Associates to help each other in times of need.
The Heart of the City initiatives complement the work that the Circuit City Foundation has done since its establishment in 1962. Since that time, the Foundation has donated nearly $40 million to support charitable causes including educational, arts and cultural organizations. The foundation administers a matching gifts program to boost the giving power of Associates.

In addition to supporting national programs, Circuit City Associates actively support local initiatives in the company's hometown, Richmond, Virginia. Examples of these programs include "Warm Wishes for Every Boy and Girl" for Boys & Girls Clubs members, Boys & Girls Clubs back-to-school backpack drive, Virginia Blood Services blood drives and Central Virginia Food Bank food drives.
