CTA Foundation

We power lives. Through our extensive and dynamic network, we bring technology to those most in need — seniors and people with disabilities. It's more than just devices. We give people freedom, independence, purpose and most importantly, vital connections.

Foundation Grants

The foundation’s grants strategically support programs that improve the lives of seniors and people with disabilities. Because we consider grants part of a partnership, we work closely with our grantees to ensure their programs’ success.
