What’s Broadband for Good: Broadband for Good is our
commitment to advancing digital inclusion and strengthening the
communities we serve. This program supports our purpose of Building
Gigabit America by using our fiber technology and resources to
connect more people to the digital society.
Why we chose RiseUP: RiseUP engages hundreds of
Connecticut students in after-school programs that provide
development and mentorship opportunities for underrepresented
youth. Our donation ensures that they have fast, reliable
connectivity for everything from online learning to digital art
projects.
Hear from Frontier: “We’re excited to team up with
community organizations like RiseUP, who share our belief that
access to technology can be life changing,” said Erin Kurtz,
Frontier’s Chief Communications Officer. “With our high-speed fiber
internet, RiseUP can provide even more opportunities for students
and artists in Connecticut to learn, grow and thrive.”
Hear from RiseUP: “We're thrilled to partner with
Frontier through their Broadband for Good program. The donation of
fiber optic internet to RiseUP's studio is more than just a
technological upgrade—it’s a gateway to enhanced creativity,
community engagement, and seamless collaboration. With this
support, we'll be able to expand our impact, bringing more
innovative and inclusive art initiatives to Connecticut,” said Matt
Conway, Executive Director of RiseUP.
More about Broadband for Good in Connecticut: This is our
fourth Broadband for Good donation in Connecticut so far. We have
also powered District Arts and Education (DAE), which expands
access to STEM opportunities for high schoolers and adults in New
Haven; the Boys & Girls Club of Ridgefield, which offers
thousands of kids a safe place to learn and grow; and Malta House,
