Comcast Announces $100 Million Multiyear Plan to Advance Social Justice and Equality

Comcast announced it is developing a comprehensive, multiyear plan to allocate $100 million to fight injustice and inequality against any race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation or ability. There will be $75 million in cash and $25 million in media that will be distributed over the next three years, in addition to the existing commitments our company currently makes to thousands of organizations supporting underrepresented communities through our Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation and social impact programs.

Craig Robinson, EVP and Chief Diversity Officer for NBCUniversal, will be spearheading these efforts with Brian Roberts, Chairman and CEO for Comcast Corporation, at the corporate level and will coordinate with business leaders across Comcast, NBCUniversal and Sky to build programs, allocate resources and partner with national and local organizations to drive meaningful change. Each of our companies will create sustainable programs within their businesses and will be proactively soliciting ideas from employees so that we can build this effort together.
