AT&T Foundation, a Dallas-based corporate foundation established in 1985, supports education, STEM initiatives, human services, and community strengthening across the United States with a primary focus on Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Delaware. The foundation distributes approximately $18-20 million annually, with typical grants ranging from $10,000 to $35,000, though awards can reach up to $7.6 million for major initiatives. Funding requests are by invitation only through their dedicated portal, making this an ideal funder for organizations already connected to AT&T's network or those working in technology careers and community development.
