Comcast Commits $35M to Support Hundreds of Community Organizations and Build a Future of Unlimited Possibilities
Jan 09, 2025
This funding is part of Project UP — Comcast's $1 billion comprehensive commitment to connect people to the Internet, support digital skills and jobs programs, and advance economic mobility.
Together with our nonprofit partners, we’re proud to help the communities we serve accelerate realizing a future of unlimited possibilities.
At Comcast, we know that while talent may be distributed equally, opportunities are not. That is why our investment spans supporting frontline nonprofit partners that are making impact at scale in the areas of research, digital skills training, entrepreneurship, and creativity.
“Underinvestment in the disability community has deprived many talented individuals of opportunities to contribute meaningfully to the economy. With Comcast’s partnership, we are on track to create a pipeline of over 3,000 disabled entrepreneurs annually by 2030, while continuing to emphasize that expanding access for people with disability can be an asset for economic growth,” said Diego Mariscal, CEO and Founder of 2Gether-International, and former Mexican National Paralympian.
Among the partners supported are 2Gether-International, which provides disabled entrepreneurs with the tools and resources needed to be leaders in their respective industries, and Esperanza, a nonprofit organization that strengthens Hispanic communities through education, economic development, and community programs.
In addition, we invest in organizations like Jobs For the Future, which will commission new collaborative research through its Center for Artificial Intelligence & the Future of Work and its Center for Racial Economic Equity; Per Scholas, a leading tech training nonprofit that integrates technical education with professional development; BUILD.org, a youth-focused organization that helps students to build career success, entrepreneurial mindsets, and opportunity; and Wide Angle Youth Media, which provides media arts education to thousands of youth in Baltimore.
By strategically funding organizations that are deeply embedded in communities of all sizes, Comcast is helping bridge the opportunity gap to propel economic mobility for generations to come.
