Verizon serves customers in every corner of Massachusetts, and we're committed to using technology to make a difference in the neighborhoods in which they live and work. By supporting organizations that are making a difference every day, together we are improving lives while contributing to the future well-being of the Commonwealth.

In addition to the grants, Verizon employees volunteered more than 38,000 hours to nonprofit groups throughout Massachusetts in 2011. The Verizon Foundation supports employee volunteerism by awarding a $750 grant to a nonprofit organization when a Verizon employee volunteers 50 hours or more to the organization during the year.
