We’re now accepting applications for the 2026 Meta Data Center Community Action Grants program, which provides direct funding to schools, nonprofits, and community organizations working on projects that benefit the communities where we build our data centers.
These grants have been part of our commitment to investing in the long-term vitality of these communities since 2011, and they also support our commitment to the White House AI Youth Education Pledge . This year, we’re expanding the grants to include seven additional communities that are home to our newest data centers: Aiken, South Carolina; Bowling Green, Ohio; Cheyenne, Wyoming; Jeffersonville, Indiana; Montgomery, Alabama; Richland Parish, Louisiana; Rosemount, Minnesota.
Applications are open through November 21, 2025. To date, we’ve given over $74 million to data center communities globally, $24 million of which have been through the Data Center Community Action Grants program. The projects we’ve funded put technology to use for community benefit, enable local organizations to build strong communities, and improve local science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education.
Grant winners can reapply each year, which means many projects receive long-term funding that help them grow, sustain, and create lasting impact. Here are just a few of the ways recent grant winners have used their funding to drive positive change in their communities.
Funding STEAM Learning and Workforce Development Since breaking ground on our DeKalb, Illinois data center in 2020, we have awarded grants and sponsorships to support over 65 local projects. The Northern Illinois University (NIU) Foundation received a 2025 Meta Data Center Community Action Grant to expand summer programming for students.
