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.
