CTA Foundation

We power lives. Through our extensive and dynamic network, we bring technology to those most in need — seniors and people with disabilities. It's more than just devices. We give people freedom, independence, purpose and most importantly, vital connections.

Who We Are

Our mission is to link seniors and people with disabilities with technologies that enhance their lives.

The CTA Foundation is a public, national foundation affiliated with the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®.

The foundation’s grants strategically support programs that improve the lives of seniors and people with disabilities. Because we consider grants part of a partnership, we work closely with our grantees to ensure their programs’ success.

The foundation also facilitates dialogue among industry, consumers, government, advocacy groups and other key stakeholders.

Recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2009, and it started supporting its first programs in 2012. To see our 990 filings, visit our Guidestar listing page.

When you give, you power lives.

Through thoughtful and generous donations, The CTA Foundation is able to continue with our mission of connecting seniors and people with disabilities with technologies to enhance their lives. Join the growing list of corporate and individual supporters that make our work possible.
