As Microsoft started developing datacenters in Goodyear and El Mirage, Arizona, we met with civic leaders and neighbors to understand the communities’ needs and priorities. Microsoft partnered with local organizations to invest in the communities through the following projects:

• Microsoft Datacenter Academy at Estrella Mountain and Glendale Community Colleges.
• Better Block community event in Avondale.
• Shining Light Foundation’s Black History mural project.
• Meals of Joy providing home-delivered meals to seniors.
• Dysart Community Center providing child care, adult education, and more.

Microsoft is honored and grateful to support the important work these organizations are doing in the community.
