Amazon Web Services (AWS) is accepting grant applications from Hayward residents, community organizations and schools interested in starting or expanding projects or programs involving science, technology and engineering, arts and math education, economic development and leadership, environmental sustainability, or community health and well-being. 
 
The company announced it is making $100,000 available to support local initiatives in Hayward for the second consecutive year through its InCommunities Fund, created to give back to communities in which AWS has built and currently operates company infrastructure. 
 
Hayward applicants can apply for InCommunities grants of up to $10,000—with applications being accepted now through Dec. 15. Applicants also can register here to attend a virtual training seminar on Zoom, called the AWS InCommunities Hayward Fund Launch Call, scheduled to start at noon on Thursday, Oct. 10.
