NCTA Education Foundation

NCTA Education Foundation Do Good. Be Better. Impact Tomorrow. Host of the annual Kaitz Event!

NCTA EF champions initiatives that foster opportunity and meaningful connections, recognizing that success is built on investing in our employees and empowering innovative ideas. We’ve been around since 1980, when the California cable industry executive Spencer Kaitz established the Foundation with contributions made in the memory of his father, Walter Kaitz, a long-standing advocate of fairness a

nd inclusion in the entertainment industry. Ever since, the Foundation has rallied the industry around a commitment to diversity that continues to grow. Today, our not-for-profit Foundation contributes funds to organizations that help talented people achieve career goals in entertainment, helps vendor companies owned by women and people of color do business in media and supports programs and initiatives that further diversity’s cause in media and entertainment.

This year, our Kaitz Event takes its cue from Mardi Gras- not just for the color and celebration, but for what it represents.
Mardi Gras is about coming together and moving forward with joy, purpose, and momentum.

That spirit reflects exactly who we are at The NCTA Education Foundation- a community committed to the industry, invested in its people, and focused on building the future of talent.

We’re making moves.
We’re celebrating the work.

And we’re inviting our community to build what’s next with us.

Stay tuned!
