SBC Communications will award grants totaling $9-million this year to nonprofit technology projects in the 13 states in which the company provides telecommunications services.
The SBC Excelerator program is designed to help charities use technology to operate more efficiently and better fulfill their missions. Nonprofit organizations may submit proposals to the company’s foundation in areas such as computer networking, high-speed Internet access, technology training, or online efforts to deliver services, raise money, or recruit volunteers.
Charities that work in the arts, community development, education, health, or human services are eligible to apply. Grants will range from $2,500 to $25,000, and applications are due by April 22.
