Our impact in communities
We work in local and rural communities and in our own backyard to help everyone benefit from technology.
Our approach
We work to empower communities through innovation to create lasting progress. We combine technology, data, and strategic investments with the passion and expertise of our employees to help communities build toward a more equitable and resilient future.
Datacenter communities
As we expand our infrastructure, we’re committed to building and operating datacenters in ways that benefit local communities and the people who live and work there.

Rural communities
We provide technology and resources, in partnership with local organizations, to help rural residents in the United States use technology to build a better future for themselves and their families.
