Applications are open until Nov. 21 for Meta’s annual Data Center Community Action Grants program.
The program provides direct funding to schools, registered nonprofits and community organizations in locations where we have a data center.
“At Meta, we strive to be a good partner and are invested in the longterm vitality of our data center communities and its residents, include Richland Parish,” said Henry Thornton, community development manager at Meta, said. “We’re so excited to bring our Data Center Community Action Grants program to this community and to support the vital work of Richland Parish schools and nonprofits, and we encourage organizations to apply.”
The grants are one of many ways 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 education.
Grant applications will be accepted from eligible organizations in communities where Meta has a data center.
Registered nonprofit organizations 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.
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.
