Equinix doubles foundation investment to $100 million

Equinix has announced a $50 million commitment to the Equinix Foundation, doubling its total investment to $100 million since the foundation's launch in 2022. The funding is intended to accelerate digital opportunity through strategic grantmaking, workforce development, and community partnerships.

The foundation focuses on three key impact areas: connectivity and digital infrastructure, digital literacy and skill building, and workforce readiness. In the Philippines, the foundation is collaborating with Kadakareer, a community-based platform, to provide students with coaching, skills training, and pathways to employment within the digital economy.

As part of its efforts to build a talent pipeline for the data center industry, the foundation's Pathways to Tech program introduces students aged 14 to 18 to data center operations. In 2025, the foundation's nonprofit partners connected more than 3.5 million people to the internet and provided digital literacy training to over 1.6 million people.
