Cable One Opens Applications for Charitable Giving Fund to Support Local Nonprofit Organizations

PHOENIX, Oct. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Cable One family of brands will open fall applications for the company's Charitable Giving Fund, which annually awards $200,000 in grants to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, from October 1, 2021 through October 31, 2021.

Grants will be made available across communities served by the Cable One family of brands (Sparklight®, Fidelity Communications, Clearwave® and ValuNet Fiber) and will concentrate support in the following priority areas:

• Education and Digital Literacy
• Hunger Relief and Food Insecurity
• Community Development

Last spring the company awarded more than $100,000 in grants to 30 nonprofits, including organizations serving the homeless, providing child advocacy, offering senior assistance, and supplying food to those in need, to name a few. 

The Charitable Giving Fund is an extension of the company's existing corporate social responsibility efforts, which include:

• Chromebooks for Kids, an initiative in which the company donates Chromebooks to Title I schools across its footprint. To date the company has donated more than 2,000 Chromebooks to help bridge the digital divide in schools that lack funding.
• Partnering with EmbraceRace, a national organization dedicated to creating tools, resources, and networks to promote a movement of child and adult racial justice advocates.
• Supporting the mission of Special Olympics Arizona, which provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports, as well as health, arts, and leadership and advocacy programs for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
• Planting trees through the Arbor Day Foundation on behalf of customers who switch to paperless billing. By the end of 2021, the company will have planted 110,000 trees in its markets and national forests.
• Supporting the mission of Keep America Beautiful in cleaning up and beautifying communities across the U.S.
