AT&T Donates $15,000 to Alaska Organizations

Special Olympics Alaska Tanana Valley Receives $5,000

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Feb. 14, 2008 - The AT&T Foundation, the corporate philanthropy organization of AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T), today announced three grants of $5,000 each to Alaska nonprofit organizations. Special Olympics Alaska Tanana Valley in Fairbanks is the recipient of one of the donations. The Eva Foundation in Anchorage and Hospice and Homecare of Juneau are the other recipients.

"The generosity of AT&T is appreciated by Special Olympics Alaska Tanana Valley," said Jim Balamaci, president and CEO of Special Olympics Alaska. "We count on the community to provide the assistance we need to make our programs successful, and AT&T has stepped up in a big way."

AT&T's support will assist Special Olympics Alaska Tanana Valley in meeting its goal to enable people with intellectual disabilities to become productive citizens and to be accepted and respected in the larger society.

"AT&T is proud to make this contribution to Special Olympics Alaska Tanana Valley," said Mike Felix, president of AT&T in Alaska. "This organization does so much for the community, and we are honored to do our part to help make it happen."

The recipients of AT&T's donations in Alaska were selected by the newly formed Alaska chapter of the AT&T Pioneers. More than 350,000 people nationwide are members of the AT&T Pioneers, making it the nation's largest company-sponsored volunteer organization. In 2005, AT&T Pioneers donated more than 11.3 million hours of their time to community outreach activities. This equates to nearly $204 million worth of volunteer time. There are already more than 50 members of the AT&T Pioneers in Alaska, and each member is committed to volunteerism at the local level.

Although the focus of the AT&T Pioneers is primarily volunteerism, the AT&T Foundation makes $5,000 available annually to each chapter for local grants. Because this year is the kickoff for the Alaska Chapter, the Foundation gave triple that amount in Alaska.
