Vodafone Americas Foundation

In 2004, the Vodafone-US Foundation awarded grants totaling over $2,067,800 in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area. We look forward to continuing our relationships as a vital member of our communities, especially in The East Bay where our offices are located.

In its second year, the Fellowship Initiative continues successfully, recruiting close to 90 students for the wireless engineering programs at three leading engineering schools in the United States. This five-year, $12 million project was created to advance wireless engineering technology.
