TDS Keeping the Connection helping the Evansville Chamber! |
Special TDS program helps area businesses and nonprofits stay connected to their local chamber Rock County Ice Age Trail Alliance is the most recent nonprofit to benefit
MADISON, Wisconsin (November 28, 2023)—TDS Telecommunications LLC (TDS®) is marking a charitable milestone supporting local businesses. The company has now given more than $12,000 over three years to its unique Keeping the Connection philanthropic business program, designed to help keep businesses and nonprofits connected to chamber resources. Utilizing funds donated by TDS, participating south central Wisconsin chambers offer scholarships of discounted or waived membership fees to businesses and nonprofits who apply. To date, more than 24 businesses and nonprofits have been assisted through the program.
“Keeping the Connection is a way for us to give back to the business community,” said Associate Manager of Field Marketing, Laurie Gerner. “We created the program during the COVID pandemic and have continued it for the last few years because we keep hearing how it’s making a difference.”
Since early 2021, TDS has partnered with the chambers in Deforest, Elkhorn, Middleton, Sun Prairie, Sauk Prairie, Verona, and Waterford to administer the program and, with its most-recent donation, also the Evansville Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism. The Evansville chamber scholarships benefitted multiple businesses as well as a nonprofit—the Rock County Chapter of the Ice Age Trail Alliance.
