ITPA Charitable Foundation

    The ITPA Charitable Foundation collects and distributes funds to charitable causes. The Charitable Foundation works in conjunction with ITPA to support the volunteer efforts of local phone companies on a national level.
    Since its beginning, the Charitable Foundation has supported a multitude of programs such as Ronald McDonald Children's Charities, NetDay, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the American Red Cross, and the American Health Assistance Foundation. Our newest initiative is literacy.
    The Charitable Foundation also provides emergency disaster relief grants to clubs, chapters, and companies to assist victims of natural disaster. Recently, the Foundation provided emergency disaster relief grants in North Carolina, Kansas, Iowa, and Oklahoma.

ITPA Historical Foundation

    The Independent Telephone Historical Foundation is a vehicle for ITPA to continue supporting the industry's historical preservation. The Historical Foundation funds numerous projects each year. Many museums and company headquarters throughout the country have benefited from the generosity of the foundation.
