Applications are open for the Meta Data Center Community Action Grants 2026. The annual Meta Data Center Community Action Grants program provides direct funding to schools, registered nonprofits and community organizations in locations where we have a data center.

The grants are one of many ways that Meta gives back to communities where we have a data center. These grants support projects that address critical community needs by:

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

Eligibility

Grant applications will be accepted from eligible organizations in communities where Meta has a data center.

  • In the United States, registered nonprofit organizations as per our 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.
