The Verizon Foundation supports initiatives that improve literacy and K-12 education. The foundation supports domestic violence prevention and the use of technology to improve healthcare. The foundation also supports Verizon Volunteers, one of the largest employee volunteer programs in the United States. Since 2000, Verizon employees have donated 2 million hours of community service; and last year alone, their financial generosity led to $35.6 million in combined contributions to nonprofits. The Verizon Foundation works with community relations and external affairs personnel in various locations where the company operates to forge partnerships and programs. The Foundation is led by Patrick Gaston who has been its president since December 2003. |
