Cricket Wireless

Cricket Wireless began their relationship with Rebuilding Together in 2009, and has made a tremendous impact on the entire network. In just two years, Cricket has sponsored 70 grant awards to more than 40 different affiliates across the nation. Cricket has awarded 11 Platinum Projects, their signature grant, for large-scale projects focused on community and non-profit centers which often help thousands in the neighborhoods they serve. These Platinum Projects, along with every other Cricket Grant, come with a strong focus of engaging and involving the immediate community and volunteers from Cricket offices. 

In addition, Cricket has provided funding to launch new affiliates, including Charlotte and Memphis, as well as capacity building for the network. In 2010, Cricket was a sponsor of Rebuilding Together’s largest community event ever, Fifty for Five, in New Orleans. As a generous bonus, every owner-occupied home and non-profit center recipient has received a donation in the form of phones and broadband service from Cricket.
