Employees and
Communities
At the heart of our commitment to good
corporate citizenship is a simple idea:
Connections build communities and
drive prosperity.
It starts with our community: the 309,000 talented AT&T
employees around the world. We spent $200 million on
training and $26 million on tuition assistance in 2007 to
prepare our employees for the future and to ensure that
they can deliver a superior experience to our customers
every day.
By combining our employees’ passion to serve with our
innovative technology and financial resources, we make
the communities in which we live and work stronger,
smarter and healthier. Our deep commitment to the
community is our heritage and our future.
GIVING. In 2007, AT&T contributed more than $164 million
to nonprofit organizations through corporate-, employee-
and AT&T Foundation-sponsored giving. Our philanthropy
is focused on education and workforce readiness. The
AT&T Foundation—widely recognized as one of the most
generous corporate foundations—provides more than
55 percent of its grants to underserved populations.
