T-Mobile employees in the Mountain Plains area of Colorado chose
the organizations as recipients of the Difference Maker award — a
quarterly recognition program the Un-carrier started last year to
recognize top-ranked employees in business performance areas across
the company. As part of the initiative, employees presented checks
to the charities and participated in a day of service.
“The Difference Maker Award goes beyond recognition — it's about
celebrating our employees and giving them the power to make a real
difference,” said Jon Freier, President, T-Mobile Consumer Group.
“As we cheer on our Mountain Plains teammates for their incredible
efforts, we've also reached a significant contribution of $250,000
in charitable donations since launching the program, enhancing our
commitment to creating positive change in communities
nationwide.”
Here’s a closer look at how each organization is making a
difference.
- Care and Share Foodbank for Southern Colorado – Provides
food, partnering opportunities and education to fight hunger and
food insecurity in Southern Colorado communities.
- Children's Hospital Colorado – As the nation’s largest
and most expansive nonprofit pediatric healthcare systems, the
organization is on a mission to improve the health of children
through patient care, education, research and advocacy, providing
innovative and ground-breaking treatments to its patients.
- Heartspace Kids – Provides access to essential mental
health care and critical educational resources to empower children
in need and their families to live happy, healthy and productive
lives.
- Hero's Puppy for Life Organization – Purchases and
places a puppy with a U.S. military veteran or emergency first
responder living with PTSD. Nine months of training together

well-being of each other, and an ADA-Compliant Service Dog.

T-Mobile's Ongoing Commitment to Colorado
These donations underscore T-Mobile’s ongoing commitment to
making a difference in communities across Colorado. Other
investments include the Un-carrier's Hometown Grants program, which
provides funding to small towns each year for city beautification
projects, public improvements and more. Since launching the
five-year program in 2021, two Colorado towns – Montrose and
Strasburg – have received a total of $100,000. In addition,
T-Mobile has awarded funds to small businesses through Hometown
Grants. Since inception, more than $1 million has been allocated to
fuel small business projects like revitalizing farmers’ markets,
supporting business incubators and making improvements to city main
streets.
In addition, Project 10Million is T-Mobile’s $10.7 billion
initiative aimed at helping close the digital divide in education
by offering internet connectivity and mobile hotspots to up to 10
million eligible student households across the U.S. Through
T-Mobile’s education programs, the company has connected over
50,000 students in Colorado and is also offering school districts
free and heavily subsidized data plans, as well as access to
affordable laptops and tablets. As of the end of 2023, T-Mobile has
provided over $6.4 billion in products and services and connected
nearly six million students across the U.S. through Project
