How is this different from the Future is for Everyone Fund? + Data Center Community Action Grants and the Future is for Everyone Fund share the same purpose — investing directly in the communities that are home to a Meta data center — and both build on a commitment we’ve sustained for more than 15 years.
The difference is geographic: Data Center Community Action Grants support our international data center communities in Canada, Denmark, Ireland, Singapore, and Sweden, while the Future is for Everyone Fund supports communities in the United States. If your organization is based in one of our international data center communities, Data Center Community Action Grants is the right program for you.
Can I apply to both the Future is for Everyone Fund and a Data Center Community Action Grant? + Because the two programs serve different regions, you apply through the one that covers the community where your organization is based and where your project will take place — Data Center Community Action Grants for our international communities, or the Future is for Everyone Fund for U.S. communities.
An organization wouldn’t apply to both for the same location. What are the program’s focus areas? + Projects should deliver at least one of the following: Improving local STEAM education — advancing educational opportunity; most schools and after-school programs fit here.
Putting technology to use for community benefit — using hardware or software to respond to or solve critical community needs. Enabling people to build strong, sustainable communities — the most flexible category, from libraries, parks, and community gardens to small-business hubs. Is there specific guidance on an appropriate amount or range of funding I should apply for?
+ We don’t set a fixed minimum or maximum. We encourage you to request an amount that fits the scope of your project and the scale of your community — a budget you can realistically put to work and see the benefit of within about a year. If you’re unsure, apply for what you genuinely need to deliver your project’s goals; every application is reviewed on its own merits.
I received a Data Center Community Action Grant before. Can I apply again? + Yes.
Every time a new cycle opens, applications are considered on their own merits against that cycle’s pool of applicants. Previous grantees are welcome to apply again — our guidance is to bring a new project each time you apply. What does the application process involve?
+ The 2027 cycle opens on September 14, 2026 and closes on October 19, 2026. To apply, select the application link for your community from the “Eligible communities and application access” box — this takes you to the website of our grants partner, ChangeX, where you’ll complete and submit the application form. Before you begin, please confirm that your organization qualifies and review the terms and conditions for your country.
A couple things to keep in mind: projects should include measurable outcomes that can be publicly reported and grant funds are intended to be used within one year of the award. How is the Fund administered? + Meta partners with ChangeX, a non-profit, on the Data Center Community Action Grants.
All applications are submitted through the ChangeX platform, and ChangeX administers all grant awards — reviewing final application scoring and allocating grants to successful applicants. Recipients are asked to provide a report on how the funds are being used and their impact in the community.

The Meta Research PhD Fellowship supports doctoral students conducting research in areas central to Meta's technical agenda, with several of its annual award tracks dedicated to artificial intelligence and machine learning. Current AI-relevant tracks include AI System Hardware/Software Co-Design (high-performance AI algorithms spanning model compression, numerical optimization, benchmarking, and distributed inference and training), Applied Statistics (bias and variance estimation and correction in models and datasets, uncertainty quantification), AR/VR Human Understanding (efficient ML techniques that run on AR/VR devices), and Programming Languages (program synthesis, probabilistic and differentiable programming). Recipients receive two years of paid tuition and fees, a $42,000 annual stipend covering living expenses and conference travel, and a paid visit to Meta headquarters for the annual Fellowship Summit; the award carries no intellectual property claim on the student's research. The 2027 cycle opened August 3, 2026 with applications closing September 20, 2026, reference letters due in October 2026, and winners notified in January 2027.
Meta runs two distinct funding lines under the Llama Impact banner and conflating them is the usual reason applicants misjudge their odds. The flagship Llama Impact Grants award USD 500,000 to main winners and USD 300,000 to runners-up for work demonstrating the transformative potential of Llama in healthcare, agriculture, education and adjacent sectors - a small number of large awards, globally competitive, inaugurated in September 2024. The Llama Impact Innovation Awards are the regional track and a far more realistic target for most organisations: up to USD 35,000 plus matched in-kind advertising credits, scoped to Africa, the Middle East, Turkey, Asia Pacific and Latin America, and focused on education, public services and economic development. Meta has also run geography-specific initiatives, including regional accelerator tracks in Nigeria, Kenya, Senegal and South Africa and a partnership with Data Science Africa aimed at Africa-based startups and researchers working in health, education and agriculture. The binding constraint across all tracks is technical rather than thematic: the work must be built on Llama models, so a team already committed to a closed-weights provider is effectively out. The corollary is that this is one of the few sizeable funding lines where an existing open-weights deployment is itself the strongest part of the application. Round timing is irregular and announced per-region rather than on a fixed annual calendar, so the practical approach is to monitor the Llama developer site rather than plan around a deadline.
