Community
n Funding. In 2006, AT&T contributed more than
$101 million through corporate-, employee- and AT&T
Foundation-giving programs.
n The Gift of Time. Through the AT&T Pioneers program,
nearly 350,000 employees and retirees donated time
to community projects in 2006.
n Support for Our Military. For more than 85 years, AT&T
has supported the U.S. armed forces through hiring
practices, charitable contributions and sponsorships.
n Commitment to Workforce and Supplier Diversity. In 2006,
we announced a $250 million increase in planned spending
with minority-, women- and disabled veteran-owned
business enterprises in our supply chain.
For more than a century, AT&T has
been committed to making the
communities in which we live and
work as strong and vibrant as they
can be. Our commitment to corporate
citizenship is one of the reasons AT&T
has been named by Fortune as “America’s
Most Admired Telecommunications
Company” in nine out of the past 10
years and as the “World’s Most Admired
Telecommunications Company” eight
times in the past decade.
The AT&T Foundation and AT&T Pioneers
Help to Build Stronger Communities
Over the past five years, the AT&T Foundation — among the
top-10 most generous corporate foundations in the country —
has provided nearly $278 million in grant funds to support
nonprofit organizations that strengthen communities.
AT&T AccessAll is a $100 million initiative to deliver technology
access to low-income families and underserved communities in
the United States. One important initiative is a collaboration with
One Economy Corporation and Habitat for Humanity affiliates
and other low-income housing providers to deliver technology
packages, including Internet access, to 50,000 families.
