Organizations selected
Google.org, along with partners and experts, review and select the top applicants as possible projects.
Benefits
Selected organizations may receive up to $5M in funding, along with access to Google’s technical expertise and products, to accelerate progress toward a more sustainable and resilient future.
Who is eligible?
The Challenge is open to any not-for-profit charity, other not-for-profit organization, public or private academic or research institution, or for-profit social enterprise company with a project that has an explicit charitable purpose. Your organization must have a registered office in your country of residence.
Can for-profit business with a social impact apply?
For-profit businesses that are registered or formed under the laws of one of the eligible countries may apply if their suggested project has an explicit charitable purpose and they are willing to open source any IP created (or distributed) with the funding.
Google also welcomes and encourage collaboration between multiple organizations – especially between technical and social sector experts – as coalitions may be helpful for achieving the scale of solutions we’re hoping to support.
