We Focus on Empowering Our People, Improving Our Communities and Sustaining Our Planet.
Our journey began with a bold idea: bring TV to Small Town America. This adventure has
driven us to connect millions of Americans to the TV they love. We now have an exciting
future ahead, bringing our disruptive ingenuity to building a nationwide wireless network
with massive opportunities to profoundly impact local communities and our planet.
DISH is committed to continuously evolving our corporate citizenship efforts as our business
evolves. From our team members and retail partners volunteering in their communities to our
dedication to sustainable business practices to the support we provide to disaster recovery,
youth empowerment and active military personnel and veteran communities, our corporate
citizenship
program is a pivotal extension of who we are at DISH.
Our Communities
We leverage our technology and talented workforce to make a positive impact in the communities where we live and work.
Homes For Our Troops
DISH is a proud supporter of Homes For Our Troops, an organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes for severely injured post-9/11 veterans. Their program empowers veterans to rebuild their lives by providing them with adapted homes, enabling them to regain their independence. In addition to our financial support, our partnership includes donated TV service, smart home products and OnTech smart home installation services to further customize their homes to meet the everyday needs of veterans and their families.
