The Consolidated Communications Foundation is a corporate giving program that funds small, local nonprofits and schools in Consolidated’s service areas with an emphasis on K–12 STEM/STEAM and technology learning, basic needs (hunger/homelessness), children & family services, and health/mental health programs. Grants are distributed through several regional foundation vehicles (California, Kansas, Minnesota/HickoryTech) and a branded Consolidated Connects educational grant, reflecting a mix of community funds and targeted program grants. The foundation prioritizes practical, community-facing projects that build local capacity and student-focused technology or skills development.

Enfoque de Donación
Primarily small, program-specific grants (typical awards range from ~$1,000 to $10,000) made through regional foundation channels and the Consolidated Connects educational program; many grants awarded on a rolling basis, with some programs (e.g., California, Connects) operating annual application windows. Funding is geographically restricted to Consolidated Communications service areas (regional markets such as California, Kansas, southern Minnesota) and largely supports K–12 schools, local nonprofits, and community foundations.
