The 2026 Meta Data Centre Community Action Grants programme has opened for new applications.

The Meta Data Centre Community Action Grants programme provides direct funding to schools, registered not-for-profits and community organisations in locations where Meta has a data centre.

Grants are available to schools and registered not-for-profits for projects delivered in County Meath that address critical community needs by doing one or more of the following: 

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

Grant recipients will be announced in Spring 2026, and grant funds are intended to be used within a year of awarding, so this opportunity is suitable for projects being delivered from April 2026 onwards. 

Interested organisations can visit out our website to learn more about the types of organisations that are eligible for grants, and the application process and timeline: datacenters.atmeta.com/grants.

The closing date for applications is the 21st November, 2025.
