Time Warner has a long history of working at the community level to provide philanthropic support for many worthwhile causes and organizations. Our goal is to focus our resources smartly and strategically and ensure that the work we do connects closely to our company and its values, even as it adds value to the communities in which we do business.

Time Warner’s corporate office directs funds to not-for-profits in the arenas of education and the arts. We support organizations, on the local and national levels, that nurture and energize creativity and diversity in the arts, and programs aimed at strengthening our public schools and at closing the college-opportunity gap so that young people from all walks of life are equipped with the knowledge and skills to succeed today and tomorrow. As a media company that both creates and delivers content through a spectrum of outlets, we believe that this philanthropic focus not only helps to strengthen the social fabric of our world, but also contributes to the long-term success of our businesses.

Time Warner’s divisions also manage their own philanthropic programs, in many cases taking the company’s education and arts focus even deeper into the community. For example, for over 15 years Time Warner Cable has recognized creative K-12 teachers with its National Teacher Awards; Turner Broadcasting employees provide 10,000 hours of volunteer service to more than 40 nonprofit sites every year as part of Turner Volunteer Day; and the AOL Aspirations Fund is committed to awarding school-based grants of up to $10,000 each to middle schools and high schools that are deeply dedicated to opening doors of opportunity and to helping students envision positive futures.
