Partnering with DonorsChoose for a second year
to support public school teachers and classrooms across the
company’s Optimum and Suddenlink service areas
Altice USA (NYSE: ATUS) announces today plans to distribute $1
million in support of students and teachers across its Optimum and
Suddenlink footprint through a partnership with education nonprofit
DonorsChoose. The effort is aimed at funding classroom projects,
organized by public school teachers, that will enable access to
tools, technology and experiences that support student success.
Employees of the company will aid in allocating the donations to
ensure the program resonates with the local communities in which
company employees live, work, and service.
This marks the second consecutive year that Altice is partnering
with DonorsChoose to donate funds to local classroom projects
throughout the company’s Optimum and Suddenlink service footprint.
Last year, Altice funded more than 3,000 projects in nearly 2,200
schools across the country.
“Altice sees firsthand how important technology and access to
the Internet are for students and the dedicated teachers who bring
learning to life,” said Lisa Anselmo, Executive Vice President,
Communications and Community Affairs, and Chief Diversity Officer.
“Partnering with DonorsChoose allows us to support thousands of
classrooms across the communities we serve so we can connect
children today and enable opportunities tomorrow. We are proud to
start this year continuing to play a role in creating enriching and
meaningful education opportunities for the next generation of
leaders.”
"Altice is stepping in to provide local students with more
access to technology, which remains one of the top resources
requested by teachers on DonorsChoose," said Charles Best, founder
of DonorsChoose. "Through this partnership, Altice and its
employees are empowering educators and ensuring students have what
they need for an enriching education."
This program follows the company’s recent $10 million community
relief program in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which aided
households, small businesses, and communities across the country
through technology donations, monetary grants, in-kind
contributions and more during their great times of need.
