Community Outreach

Our presence in, and responsiveness to, our communities enables us to deliver on our mission to give everyone in America a friend whenever they need one – especially in times of need.

Serving all of our communities across America is the core of what we do, and we place great emphasis on serving the neighborhoods and communities in which we live and work through our diverse portfolio of platforms and assets – broadcast, digital, podcasts, personalities, influencers, social, live events and more. iHeartMedia is dedicated to inspiring and creating positive change that improves the lives of others. The company's community programs are built on the idea that through public awareness and education we give Americans enough information for them to make informed decisions around important public issues.

iHeartMedia Communities

iHeartMedia Communities, the community engagement division of iHeartMedia, Inc. launched in 2011, serves to focus the company's ongoing efforts by adding a layer of resources and commitment to address critical issues affecting the local communities we serve and to streamline all philanthropic commitments, ensuring consistent focus and messaging across all divisions and departments. iHeartMedia Communities amplifies the most pressing concerns facing each local community we serve and adds additional support and focus for stations working to address these local needs.

The company’s local and national campaigns primarily fall into these categories:

Family & Social Impact, Education & Literacy, Health & Wellness, Music & Arts and Environment

Family & Social Impact

iHeartMedia addresses topical issues that will spur positive impact in local communities across the country.

Health & Wellness

iHeartMedia works with an array of health-related organizations to bring attention to key health issues while promoting the importance of living an active and safe lifestyle. By addressing specific issues afflicting the U.S. population we hope to improve the overall physical, mental and social well-being of our listeners, employees and those in the communities in which they live.

Education & Literacy

iHeartMedia recognizes the power of inspiring creativity and is committed to encouraging society to embrace artistic development within their own neighborhoods. Through an array of local and national programs, we emphasize the importance of art and music education and the benefits of fostering imagination. It is our mission to improve and increase access to the arts across the United States.

Music & Arts

Environment

iHeartMedia continually looks for ways to rally the communities in which we live and work to protect the environment and to conserve energy and natural resources. From Public Service Announcements to local long-form shows and live events, local radio stations use their platforms to inform and educate its audiences and incite action.

Annual Community Impact Report

iHeartMedia publishes an annual community impact report that provides a snapshot of the contributions made by iHeartMedia’s employees and more than 860 broadcast radio stations in the communities in which we live and work. As a company, we are very proud of our investment in the future of the thousands of neighborhoods in which we have a presence — using our unparalleled reach and local influence to address timely and relevant concerns facing our country and neighborhoods.
