altafiber's Engagement in Greene County

At altafiber, we believe that community engagement is not just about providing superior internet services; it's about weaving ourselves into the fabric of the communities we serve. Here in Greene County, we're proud to be more than just a service provider; we're your neighbors, supporters, and friends. Let's dive into how altafiber is connecting with Greene County through various community initiatives.

Fairborn Chamber of Commerce Holiday Luncheon

We kicked off our holiday season with joy and community spirit at the Fairborn Chamber of Commerce's Annual Holiday Luncheon. Being part of this recognition event allows us to show our appreciation for the vibrant business environment in Fairborn and to foster relationships that help us grow together.

Year-Long Commitment to Xenia

In Xenia, we've taken our community involvement to an artistic level with our sponsorship of the Xenia Sand Art event. By supporting an event like this, we aim to contribute to the cultural richness of Xenia, encouraging both residents and visitors to engage with our community in creative and enjoyable ways. Alongside this, we continue our active participation with the Xenia Chamber of Commerce, where we collaborate on initiatives that drive local development and innovation.

Fiber Deployment Across Green County

Perhaps our most significant contribution to Greene County is the ongoing deployment of our state-of-the-art fiber network. This isn't just about infrastructure; it's about laying down the foundation for a connected future where every home and business can enjoy unparalleled internet speed and reliability. Our fiber deployment project in Greene County is in full swing, bringing high-speed internet to areas that previously had limited or no access to such services. This initiative promises to:

Boost Local Economy: By providing businesses with the connectivity they need to thrive in a digital age.
Enhance Education: Ensuring students and educators have access to the tools necessary for modern learning environments.
Improve Quality of Life: Offering residents the ability to work from home, enjoy streaming services without buffering, and stay connected with loved ones.

Looking Forward

At altafiber, our community engagement goes beyond what we can offer through cables and connections. It's about building relationships, celebrating local culture, and supporting the growth and development of Greene County. We're excited to continue these efforts, looking for more ways to engage, support, and grow with you.

Building Stronger Communities, Together

At altafiber, we believe that real impact happens when we invest in the people and places that make our communities thrive. That's why we're proud to share that the Bell Charitable Foundation has awarded another round of transformative grants to local nonprofits working to uplift lives and protect our environment.

This cycle, we focused on Economic & Social Mobility and Sustainability, supporting organizations that empower individuals, strengthen families, and create a healthier future for all. With 14 grants totaling over $250,000, we're honored to stand alongside these changemakers in Greater Cincinnati and Hawai'i as they make a lasting difference in the lives of our neighbors. Thank you for being part of a community that believes in giving back. Together, we're building a brighter future—one connection at a time.

See some of the highlights below:

Economic and Social Mobility

Beech Acres Parenting Center: Beech Acres works diligently to advance youth mental and social-emotional well-being through our Effective School Solutions (ESS) programs. ESS features a multi-tiered framework of trauma-informed counseling, social-emotional curriculum, and wrap-around family support in partner schools to ensure all children can thrive inside and outside the classroom.
Back2Back: Back2Back's Communities of Belonging program equips roughly 400 Greater Cincinnati children in poverty for economic mobility through trauma-informed after-school activities and summer camps. These "Communities of Belonging" offer diverse activities including socioemotional learning groups and tutoring. In recent years, engagement in Communities has led to significant reductions in behavioral disruptions and improvements in academic performance for students in the program.
Daybreak: Daybreak serves an average of 500-650 youth, ages 10-24, per year. The organization offers comprehensive support through one-on-one case management for our youth, helping them achieve their specific housing, career, and social goals

Sustainability

Mission of Mary: Mission of Mary Cooperative (MMC) is a catalyst and partner for sustainable urban development committed to building a sustainable and just food system in Dayton by making fresh, healthy food accessible, empowering residents to grow their own, and educating the community on sustainable practices. In 2024, MMC donated 30,000 pounds of additional produce to those most in need, distributed through partners like Miami Valley Meals and local food pantries.
Cincinnati Recycling and Reuse Hub: Cincinnati Recycling & Reuse Hub (the Hub) is working to improve and expand the school-based recycling collection programs, particularly in low-income communities where resources are less likely to be focused on environmental education and sustainability initiatives. The Hub operates multiple programs to divert items from the landfill, pursuing our mission "to revolutionize how people think about 'things' and to provide a place where almost anything can be recycled or reused."
