AT&T Foundation Competitive Grant Program
Integrating Wireless Technology into Education Delivery
In September 2007, the AT&T Foundation launched a $1.5 million competitive grant program to help 501(c)(3) public charities and government instrumentalities integrate wireless communications technology into educational outreach projects. The program is designed to help nonprofits deliver educational content and create innovative learning opportunities in the communities they serve.
The AT&T Foundation will award one-time, education-focused, wireless technology grants ranging from $2,500 to $25,000 to offset the cost of wireless service or to support the purchase of wireless hardware, including mobile phones, routers, or handsets.
Examples of eligible projects under the grant program include:
- Enrichment of museum visits by development of audio and video content accessible from visitors' mobile phones
- Creation of Wi-Fi Hot Spots for students and community members to access educational online content
- Development of educational curriculum designed for access from wireless devices, such as mobile handsets and PDAs
- Delivery of supplemental educational content via mobile phone calls, text messages, and/or Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)
- Development of community education podcasts
