CenturyLink and Qwest both have a long commitment to the communities they serve. Both companies have charitable foundations that have allowed the companies to support programs that align with their missions.

Clarke M. Williams Charitable Foundation

The Clarke M. Williams Charitable Foundation was created to honor the company's founder, Clarke M. Williams. Following the example set by its founder, the Foundation is committed to contributing to endeavors that improve the well-being of people in need throughout its communities. This foundation is used to fund a grants program for CenturyLink employees. The Clarke M. Williams Charitable Foundation does not accept applications for funding from external organizations.

Qwest Foundation

The Qwest Foundation awards grants that generate high impact and measurable results through community-based programs in the area of pre-K through 12 education. We are working to transition to a new foundation management process and at this time the Qwest Foundation is no longer accepting applications.
