Tweeter Corporate Philanthropy Program

Mission Statement

Founded in 1972, Tweeter is a national specialty consumer electronics retailer providing home and mobile entertainment solutions. Headquartered in Canton, MA, Tweeter employs more than 2,400 employees and operates over 100 stores under the Tweeter, hiFi buys, Sound Advice and Showcase Home Entertainment names. Guided by its founding passion for music, Tweeter's goal is to provide high-quality entertainment products that offer a source of joy, creativity and happiness to peoples' lives. Through partnerships with local organizations as well as direct contributions to the communities in which our stores are located, Tweeter's philanthropic giving focuses on two primary categories - musical education and the improvement of health and well-being through music and/or audio/video entertainment.

We are dedicated to the communities we serve and continuously strive to improve community needs through our financial, product and in-kind donations.

Tweeter Partners

Children's Hospitals
Tweeter also supports select children's hospitals across the country. These hospitals were selected for their leadership in children's medicine - not only those that excel as care providers but those that perform disease research as well. We hope our donations will help pay for a sick child's healthcare, contribute to research, or provide products like a television or CD player for recovery and treatment rooms.

Make-A-Wish Foundation
Tweeter has been a long time supporter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Partnering with our local chapters, we have provided wishes and joy to children who suffer from life-threatening medical conditions. Continuing this partnership, Tweeter looks to provide financial assistance as well as in-kind donations to our local MAW chapters, allowing for more wishes to come true each and every day.
