A Culture of Giving Back: T-Mobile Employees Volunteer Over 21,000 Hours, Raise Over $2.6 Million During Magenta Giving Month

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / May 20, 2024 / T-Mobile

With Magenta Giving Month, T-Mobile has empowered its employees for the second straight year to come together, volunteer, donate and make a difference in their communities - throughout the company and across the country. The numbers (and photos) show it was another rousing success!

T-Mobile offices nationwide bristled with a certain energy this past April. Spring was in the air, for sure. But it was more than just shaking off the last of winter. The turning of the calendar page meant it was once again Magenta Giving Month, a charitable giving initiative the company started last year to provide employees the opportunity and resources to give back to the causes they care about most.

Service, after all, is something of the very heartbeat of the company.

"The word ‘service' has multiple meanings at T-Mobile, from cell phone service to customer service," said Ulf Ewaldsson, T-Mobile's President of Technology and executive co-sponsor of Magenta Giving Month. "For the second consecutive year, the month of April is about a different type of service - serving our communities."

While last year's initial Magenta Giving Month efforts led to an impressive $2 million raised in total donations, T-Mobile and its employees raised a whopping $2.6 million this year - setting the stage for an even bigger effort in 2025.

So it should come as no surprise that T-Mobile is recognized as a leader in corporate giving. The Un-carrier was ranked No. 12 on Puget Sound Business Journal's "Corporate Philanthropists in Washington" for large companies list published in May.
