Google.org engages Google’s talent, technology and resources to address some of the globe’s most difficult challenges. We’re currently exploring the best approaches and solutions for significant, positive impact in the areas of:
- Global Development: develop scalable, sustainable solutions to poverty by focusing on economic growth in the private sector and improving access to information and services for the poor.
- Global Public Health: enable the world to better predict, prevent and eradicate communicable diseases through better access to and use of information.
- Climate Change: mitigate the effect of climate change on the poor by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy efficiency, and supporting clean energy sources.
The Google Grants program supports organizations sharing our philosophy of community service to help the world in areas such as science and technology, education, global public health, the environment, youth advocacy, and the arts.
Designed for 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, Google Grants is a unique in-kind advertising program. It harnesses the power of our flagship advertising product, Google AdWords, to non-profits seeking to inform and engage their constituents online. Google Grants has awarded AdWords advertising to hundreds of non-profit groups whose missions range from animal welfare to literacy, from supporting homeless children to promoting HIV education.
According to its headmasters Sergey Brin & Larry Page… “We hope that someday this institution will eclipse Google itself in overall world impact by ambitiously applying innovation and significant resources to the largest of the world’s problems.” Taking into consideration that this is another one of Google’s projects, it should be enough to have a huge promotion boost and results. We shall see.
