Our Communities
We commit to supporting and enhancing the communities we serve through local and philanthropic initiatives that
enrich the lives of those living where TDS operates and where our people live, work and play. Our communities are at
the center of TDS’ businesses. It is our responsibility to give back to the people and places that contribute to the
sustainability and long-term success of the TDS family of companies.
TDS, UScellular, and TDS Telecom all offer 16 hours of additional paid time off annually for associates to volunteer
in their communities.
UScellular Community Involvement

For more than a decade, UScellular has partnered with organizations like Boys & Girls Club of America and Girls Who
