Mission & Focus Areas
In its 2024 filing, Mywirelessorg describes its mission as identifying, educating, and persuading mobile wireless consumers to contact policymakers about wireless telecommunications matters affecting them as consumers. It reports advocacy outreach at federal and state levels and coalition building with individual consumers and national and state organizations.
ACTwireless’s website describes support for policies that expand spectrum and infrastructure, encourage next-generation wireless deployment, lower wireless taxes and fees, and enable innovation in a healthy regulatory environment. Its digital-divide materials call for addressing accessibility and affordability gaps, directing broadband funding to unserved Americans, encouraging technology-neutral private investment, and expanding spectrum access.
2024 grants included organizations whose own stated missions span policy research, technology and broadband policy, consumer advocacy, and access to technology. For example, the Free State Foundation describes its work as promoting free-market, limited-government, and rule-of-law principles through research and education; the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation describes itself as a nonpartisan policy institute focused on innovation and productivity; and the LGBT Technology Institute says it works to bridge the technology gap for LGBTQ individuals, especially those who are disadvantaged. These are the grantees’ descriptions of their missions.
