Good corporate citizenship and public service are top priorities at Time Warner Cable. By reaching out to local governments, educational institutions and non-profit organizations in the communities where we do business, we develop and provide programs, services and resources tailored to benefit customers and communities alike.

Education
Time Warner Cable's main focus always has been to support education in our communities. Through initiatives such as Cable in the Classroom and Cable’s High Speed Education Connection, we use our vast network to deliver the resources of cable programming and technology, including High Speed Online access, at no cost to schools. Partnerships with national organizations, like the National Urban League and Boys & Girls Clubs of America, allow us to support and enhance the effectiveness of existing service organizations, extending the benefits of our technology to a broader, more inclusive audience.

We are constantly working to identify new areas of need that can be helped by Time Warner Cable’s local and national presence. Adopt-A-School initiatives, support for local symphonies, art and dance organizations, youth after school and mentoring activities, environmental concerns and economic development are just some of the areas that are covered by this emphasis on local community involvement.

Literacy
Extending the impact of Time Warner Cable’s commitment to its communities is the energetic and enthusiastic contribution of our employees. Across the country, Time Warner Cable employees and community volunteers devote countless hours of personal time for the company’s Time To Read literacy/mentoring program.  Now in its 23rd year, the program is the nation’s largest corporate-sponsored volunteer program of its kind with more than 5,000 participants. 

Community Involvement
Time Warner Cable also supports individual, non company-related projects that benefit local communities through our employees’ personal involvement. Throughout the year, Time Warner’s EVG (Employee Volunteer Grant) program awards grants to employees to fund such varied non-profit local initiatives as pet adoption services, refurbishment of youth sports facilities, community environmental projects and equipment for day care facilities, to name just a few.

Time Warner Cable's community activism embraces corporate philanthropy as well. Each year, we donate several million dollars directly to non-profit organizations. Greater still are the tens of millions of dollars more of in-kind contributions provided through activities such as the production and distribution of public service announcements. These donations support both local initiatives and national non-profit organizations. Our educational outreach programs are underwritten by more than $3 million in annual funding across the divisions.

At Time Warner Cable, community service is more than just a buzzword. It’s woven into the fabric of who we are. And the very nature of our business offers a unique and powerful platform with which to serve our communities. We will keep building on that commitment as our products, services and technology continue to evolve.
