What’s the news: T-Mobile is furthering its longstanding support of the country’s largest and most influential Hispanic advocacy organizations — the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) and UnidosUS (formerly National Council of La Raza) — by sponsoring new and existing programs that will bring Hispanic communities greater access to digital literacy resources.
Why it matters: By supporting LULAC’s Conexiones program and UnidosUS’s Latinx in Business initiative, T-Mobile is helping address inequities experienced by Latino students and business owners and bringing digital literacy programs directly to growing Hispanic communities across the U.S.
Who it’s for: Hispanic students, workers, entrepreneurs, and business leaders hoping to excel in the ever-changing technology landscape and job market.

The Un-carrier announced it will give a combined $1.25 million to Human Rights Campaign Foundation and GLSEN initiatives
What’s the news: To celebrate Pride this year, T-Mobile is furthering its longstanding support of organizations that serve LGBTQ+ youth with a $1 million donation to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s new financial and digital literacy initiatives and a $250,000 donation to GLSEN’s efforts to make schools safer and more inclusive.
Why it matters: These initiatives will have critical — and potentially lifechanging — impacts. They provide educational resources to help LGBTQ+ youth who are 120% more likely than cisgender or heterosexual youth to experience homelessness, unstable housing or live in foster care and, as a result, are at higher risk of dropping out of school, facing unemployment and suffering from poverty later in life. They will also support inclusive school programming that connects with the over half of LGBTQ+ students who feel unsafe in school because of their sexual orientation or gender expression.
Who it’s for: LGBTQ+ youth who are shaping the future of their — and all of our — communities.

The Un-carrier rallies everyone — including big brands — to #GiveThanksNotPranks this April Fools’ and kicks it off with $500K for teachers to outfit classrooms for students
What’s the news: T-Mobile is calling on everyone to pause the pranks on April Fools’ Day this year and instead focus on gratitude. Everyone can use a pick-me-up after a tough year, so the Un-carrier, alongside other brands, has launched a movement to #GiveThanksNotPranks this April 1 — starting with an up to $500K donation to support teachers and students.
Why it matters: Showing appreciation to some of the people who make our lives better on the daily and who have gotten us through the last year is the least we can do during these complex times. Also, studies show that acts of gratitude lead to more gratitude … so let’s get to the thanking!
Who it’s for: Everyone! Because now, in particular, everyone has something — and someone — to be thankful for.
Nationwide Contest Offers Youth with Innovative Ideas Around Creating Connected, Sustainable and Informed Communities Opportunity to Receive Seed Funding and Mentorship
What’s the news: T-Mobile, the T-Mobile Foundation and Ashoka are launching the third Changemaker Challenge. Today through April 8, youth ages 13 to 18 can apply for the opportunity to receive seed funding and one of 15 spots at the Changemaker Lab at T-Mobile HQ later this year to support their innovative ideas focused on Technology, the Environment or Education. Over the program’s three years, T-Mobile and the T-Mobile Foundation will have invested nearly $1M in Changemaker Challenge projects and mentorship opportunities.
Why it matters: We want to help focus all the talk about urgent societal and global challenges on finding solutions -- and we know America’s youth are up to the challenge to put fresh thinking behind big problems and come up with big ideas that will drive change! With a little help in the form of funding and mentorship, innovative ideas can become extraordinary movements. Now is an amazing time to be a young changemaker!
Who it’s for: Disruptors, trailblazers and entrepreneurs between the ages of 13 to 18 located in the U.S. and Puerto Rico who have bold ideas about how to change their communities and society for good…and the parents, mentors and educators who support them every step of the way!
The Un-carrier continues its commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion by kicking off a $2 million investment in new scholarship, recruiting and business education programs
What’s the news: Inspired by advocates who created pathways to prosperity for Black Americans, T-Mobile is announcing three new programs that will give students, tech professionals and business owners access to valuable financial, educational and career-development resources: Magenta Scholars, the NextTech Diversity Program and Magenta Edge.
Why it matters: Change happens when everyone has equitable access to resources, and these three programs will provide just that for Black Americans. Stats tell the story of opportunity: Students with financial support graduate at twice the rate of Black students overall. Black workers with access to career training and resources can break barriers in a network-infrastructure workforce that currently is comprised of just 10% Black technicians. Black-owned businesses will benefit from access to free workshops and advice from experts, particularly as they have been twice as likely to close permanently than white-owned businesses because of the economic impacts of COVID-19.
Who it’s for: Students at historically Black colleges and universities, aspiring diverse workers in the tech and telecom industries and Black small business owners — and allies who support them.
Employees Raise Money for Nine Youth- and Family-Focused Nonprofit Organizations in the Company’s Local Communities
What’s the news: Starting on World Kindness Day (Nov. 13) through Giving Tuesday (Dec. 1) and ending on Dec. 4, 2020, T-Mobile is closing out this year by spreading the love and asking everyone to #CaptureKindness. Photos and stories posted on social media, along with customer clicks in the T-Mobile Tuesdays App on Giving Tuesday, will translate to the Un-carrier’s biggest contribution to Feeding America® ever — up to 15 million meals* delivered to families across the U.S.
Why it matters: Millions of Americans are facing food insecurity right now, particularly due to the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. T-Mobile wants to give back and do it while making others feel good — providing people a reason to smile and hopefully encouraging all of us to reconnect with our communities. Leave it up to the Supercharged Un-Carrier to help supercharge America’s kindness (with even more kindness!) through the #CaptureKindness campaign.
Who it’s for: Anyone who needs a little positivity in their life right now (and who doesn’t!?!).
