2025 Meta data center community support — Year in review
Strengthening Communities
Throughout 2025, Meta advanced the work of thousands of schools, nonprofit organizations and small businesses in our data center communities through direct funding and our community programs. Meta is proud to have supported 30 data center communities across the United States, Europe and Asia in 2025:
The significance of our data centers is much more than what is felt online. That’s why we want to make sure we are creating a positive impact at the local level. We partner with local schools and organizations on programs and resources that help build skills and increase the use of technology, because our mission is to build the future of human connection and the technology that makes it possible.
