Meta Data Center Community Action Grants 2025: (Deadline 18 October, 2024)

Applications are invited for the Meta Data Center Community Action Grants 2025. Meta’s annual Data Center Community Action Grants program provides direct funding to schools, registered nonprofits and community organizations in locations where we have an operational data center. These grants support projects that address critical community needs by:

• Putting the power of technology to use for community benefit.
• Giving people the power to build strong, sustainable communities.
• Improving local science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) education.

Eligibility

Grant applications will be accepted by eligible organizations in communities where Meta has an operational data center (see communities).

• In the United States, registered nonprofit organizations as per Meta program’s terms and conditions and public schools are eligible for grants. Schools are encouraged to notify the superintendent of desired grants to ensure the most competitive and feasible applications are submitted.
• In Europe, registered not for profit organizations and government entities (including state-run schools and municipalities) are eligible for grants.

Schools may apply for multiple grants. All other organizations are limited to one application per cycle. Projects must have demonstrable metrics that can be publicly reported. Grant funds are intended to be used within one year of the grant award date.

Ineligible organizations include:

• Programs or projects operated exclusively for religious purposes or proselytizing.
• Organizations that make hiring choices or provide goods or services based on race, gender, faith, national origin, sexual orientation or disability.
