From WEINSTEIN PR

In fall 2025, Meta launched its data center community action grants in the Bowling Green community. This program provides direct funding to schools and eligible nonprofits in Wood County that are creating “meaningful local impact.” This is the first time that the data center community action grants will be available in Bowling Green.

Applications are open now through Friday, Nov. 21, for projects that put technology to use for community benefit, create strong, sustainable communities, and/or support STEAM education.

More information and an online application is available at datacenters.atmeta.com/grants.
