Helping CTA
Members Give Back

 2020

has been a tumultuous year. The
pandemic, economy, social unrest and
other issues have people divided and
struggling. As we face these challenges, we also have
the opportunity to highlight the good our industry
does and identify ways to continue that work.

At the CTA Foundation
we are committed to
helping address these
challenges. We recently
announced $700,000 in
grants to nonprofits
serving older adults and
people with disabilities,
many of whom are facing problems due to
COVID-19. We are also
working closely with key
stakeholders in government, nonprofits, academia and industry to
continue to develop programs and partnerships
to meet these needs.
As we continue these
programs, we are also
looking at how we can
further assist CTA members and we have two
new opportunities. The
first is assistance in
identifying and vetting
causes to support. At the
CTA Foundation we
have years of experience
and tools in place to help
us identify and support
the organizations that
best advance our mission. We now offer that
support to the broader
CTA membership. We
can help identify your
organization's charitable

priorities and then identify organizations that fit
those issues.
The second opportunity will take place during CES 2021.
Throughout the show,
the CTA Foundation
will be telling the stories of how technology
is helping people live,
work and play independently. Planning is
underway for a variety
of events. If you or your
company are interested
in getting involved, telling your stories and
supporting the work of
the CTA Foundation,
please contact me.
We look forward to
continuing to do good
on behalf of the industry and assisting the
industry in giving back
in a way that benefits
our communities,
employees and loved
ones. I look forward to
hearing about your
interests and how we
can help make a difference. If you are interested in learning more,
