Qwest is more than a communications company. We're nearly 40,000 individuals living and working with you and your family in communities all across the region. Each of us has a personal stake in helping to improve the towns and neighborhoods where we live.

That's why the Qwest Foundation funds a matching program through which $500 donations are made to nonprofit organizations where employees volunteer at least 40 hours over a six-month period.

Perhaps the perfect embodiment of our commitment to service is the Qwest Pioneers, current and retired employees who together volunteer a combined one million hours each year in their communities.

That's sixty million minutes devoted to improving thousands of communities, one individual at a time.
