• Dear friends,
  
       Hello. You may be wondering who the Verizon Foundation and the Pioneers are and what we do. The Verizon Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Verizon Communications Inc. The Pioneers is a network of volunteers that effect immediate, tangible change in the communities in which we live and work in partnership with our sponsors. Through the partnership that has been forged with the Verizon Foundation we help our local communities in many different ways and areas.
