A core part of our commitment and responsibility to DE&I is to speak up for change in the communities where we live and work and make a meaningful contribution to a more equitable society. Our society doesn’t work if it doesn’t work equally for all. We recognize that inequalities are pervasive, and we have a role to play in helping to address them.

Community

Our goal is to put resources towards initiatives that focus on fostering economic growth and innovations within the communities we serve.

In the past five years, AT&T* has invested $215 million to increase education, skills building and career readiness opportunities in Black and other underserved communities. 

During the pandemic, we committed $11.5 million to create opportunities for Black and other underserved communities. We are also helping HBCU students succeed in tech and entertainment.

Stand for Equality is one of our core values at AT&T, and it’s the driving force behind our goal to make diversity and inclusion are both a business and a moral imperative, inside and outside our walls. To learn more about the work we’re doing, please visit our Stand for Equality page.

*$202 million of this funding was provided by AT&T, and $13 million was provided through the AT&T Foundation.

In February of 2022, AT&T Dream in Black’s signature program, Black Future Makers, returned with the unveiling of its 2022 inductees and a month-long program highlighting our continued commitment to economic empowerment in the Black community.  

Also, AT&T Dream in Black Rising Future Makers recognized 25 students currently attending HBCUs who are making a positive impact within their communities and campuses before finishing their degrees. 

By working with organizations and events like Black Enterprise and REVOLT Summit X AT&T, AT&T is able to connect and engage with the Black community in a more meaningful way.
