Microsoft operates datacenters in El Mirage and Goodyear, Arizona, part of the Greater Phoenix area. Our community development work supports projects in the West Valley and across Maricopa County.
Aligned with Microsoft’s global commitments, our datacenter community pledge is to build and operate digital infrastructure that addresses societal challenges and creates benefits for communities in which we operate and where our employees live and work. We will contribute to a sustainable future, advance community prosperity and well-being, and operate responsibly as a good neighbor.
Investing in communities
Through listening and conversations, we strive to earn the trust of the communities we serve and the governments that represent them. These conversations help us build on the great work of others and align our operations and community investments with local values, aspirations, strengths, and needs.
Increasing access to digital skills and local job opportunities
We believe economic growth can and must be inclusive. That’s why we invest to help individuals, organizations, and communities access pathways to growth and opportunity. We invest in programs to help people build skills for jobs and livelihood opportunities and increase access to computer science education.
