Details:
The shareholders, managers, and employees of Consolidated Communications value their connection to the communities in which they live and in which the company does business. They know their lives are greatly enhanced by the good works of many men and women working on staff or as volunteers with the community and nonprofit organizations. As well, community is made more vibrant by the creativity and effort of those working across sectors, as entrepreneurs or educators, to drive a vibrant, local economy. Nonprofit organizations that support the efforts of these community leaders are frequently undercapitalized and often lack the financial resources or the human capital – but not the potential – to build truly great institutions and communities. This Fund has been created to recognize their good works and to provide incentives to achieve the fullest community potential.
