Facebook Community Accelerator Program 2021

The program aims to help leaders harness the power of their community to turn impactful ideas into action. In their discussions with community leaders over the last few years, Facebook have learned that many of them are looking for support and guidance in how to grow their communities’ impact. They want to take a holistic approach to supporting these communities. So in addition to building the tools and educational resources that they need, they are also building programmatic ways to provide training, support and funding to enable great communities to make an even greater positive impact in the world.
