At Comcast NBCUniversal, we believe that everyone should have the opportunities and resources they need to build a future of unlimited possibilities. In a year marked by both ongoing challenges and encouraging signs of progress, we deepened and accelerated our efforts to create a better, more equitable world. We also launched Project UP, our comprehensive initiative to advance digital equity that is backed by a $1 billion commitment to reach tens of millions of people through programs and community partnerships that connect people to the Internet, advance economic mobility, and open doors for the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, storytellers, and creators.

Our long-standing commitment was recently recognized by Points of Light, the world’s largest organization dedicated to volunteer service, which named Comcast NBCUniversal to their annual Civic 50 list for the ninth consecutive year. The Civic 50 represents companies who are setting the standards for civic leadership and building the culture for sustained solutions to community problems.

“As a company, we remain deeply committed to helping create transformational change so that everyone – in every community – has a chance to realize their dreams,” said Dalila Wilson-Scott, Executive Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer, Comcast Corporation.

It is an incredible honor to once again be recognized by Points of Light’s Civic 50 for the work that our people and partners do in communities every day.
