Investing in our communities

It’s our mission to create a better world by providing high-quality communication services—connecting people and businesses, supporting education, and strengthening communities. We started with a handful of telephone companies in small and rural communities; with 1.1 million residential and business connections, TDS’ mission is to create a better world through its communications services.


In addition to serving customers, TDS takes a vested interest in the growth and success of our communities. From hands-on volunteering to in-kind and direct financial support, we believe in giving back. In fact, community involvement is so imperative to our core beliefs that TDS has a “Be Good Citizens” program, which provides our associates with 16 hours of paid volunteer time every year.
