Fidelity Communications Awards $5,000 Grant to Habitat for Humanity of Central Arkansas

July 21, 2021 – Little Rock, Ark. – Fidelity Communications, a member of the Cable One family of brands, recently awarded a $5,000 grant to Habitat for Humanity of Central Arkansas through the company's Charitable Giving Fund, which launched in January 2021. Through this program, the company awarded more than $100,000 in grants earlier this summer to 30 nonprofit organizations across its 24-state footprint.

Habitat for Humanity of Central Arkansas, which brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope for people in need, received the grant from Fidelity to help fund the completion of Porter Cove, the nonprofit's first pocket community in North Little Rock which will consist of nine homes on a new cul-de-sac in the North Heights neighborhood.

"Funds from this grant will help us give Habitat residents and families a brand new safe, decent, affordable home, in a community where neighbors are on a first-name basis with one another," said Brad Robertson, Vice President of Development at Habitat for Humanity of Central Arkansas. "The best part of creating this Porter Cove neighborhood is that it not only benefits the residents and families but the neighborhood and community as well. This pocket community will be a very diverse neighborhood with homeowners from all backgrounds and will contribute to the redevelopment and revitalization of their community."

The Charitable Giving Fund, which will annually award $200,000 in grants to local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations served by Fidelity and the other Cable One family of brands (Sparklight®, Clearwave®, ValuNet Fiber and Hargray), concentrates support in the following priority areas:

Nonprofit organizations will have the opportunity to apply for a grant during open application periods each spring and fall. Applications for fall 2021 grants will open between October 1 - 31, 2021.

"Through our support of these nonprofit organizations, we are helping to build strong and vibrant communities, improve quality of life, and make a positive difference in the communities where we live and work," said Julie Laulis, Cable One President and CEO.

The Charitable Giving Fund is an extension of the company's existing corporate social responsibility efforts, which include:
