The cable industry is integral to helping charities and non-profit organizations gain enough momentum to make an impact. Last year, contributions totaled more than $1 billion in industry cash, in-kind donations and public service announcements in 2014, with both cable operators and program networks included. A few of the initiatives which the cable industry was involved in include: closing the digital divide through low-cost and discounted broadband services and digital literacy classes for those who need it most; training and supporting military veterans; encouraging students to participate in STEM fields; equipment donations; and encouraging diversity in the workplace.
We at Cable Impacts are proud to share the social responsibility programs undertaken by cable organizations.
