“AWS is committed to being a good neighbor in places where we operate, and part of that means listening to our local communities and working backwards from their needs. By establishing the first AWS InCommunities Fund, we remain focused on sustaining our relationship in Gilroy and this underlines our continued commitment to the local community. Helping support grassroot efforts is important in improving the livelihood of Gilroy residents and we encourage anyone interested to apply to the AWS InCommunities Fund today and help make a lasting difference." -Sarah Georgiades, head of AWS InCommunities for the Americas
