Instructional Telecommunications Foundation Inc

The organization’s stated mission is to transform connectivity by providing affordable broadband to under-resourced communities, including nonprofits, schools, and libraries, and to reinvest its surplus into driving social change.

Its strategic grantmaking has three pillars:

• Multiracial Democracy & Power Building: Core support for work building power for the New American Majority, including expanding voter participation, grassroots organizing, representation in elected office, campaigns, and ballot initiatives.
• Movement Infrastructure & Innovation: Work such as experimentation, data and technology infrastructure, research, communications, and training that supports racial and economic justice movements.
• Telecom Justice: Policy and advocacy work toward equitable access to affordable, quality broadband.

The organization describes its grantmaking as flexible and risk-tolerant. Its website also describes an annual Vision Prize offering unrestricted support to leaders working on systemic social and racial justice, bold innovation, and grassroots community impact.

Examples of supported organizations illustrate the range of work: Georgia Investor Action Fund says it uses organizing, messaging, and leadership development to influence policy in Georgia. Public Communicators Inc. says it operates Free Speech TV, a nonprofit digital media network featuring underrepresented voices. We Must Vote says it provides voting information, registers voters, and encourages participation in local and federal elections.
