The Google Global Impact Award.

The Global Impact Awards support organizations using technology and innovative approaches to tackle some of the world’s toughest human challenges. Google is looking for nimble, entrepreneurial organizations that have a specific project that tests a big idea and a brilliant team with a healthy disregard for the impossible.

From real-time sensors that monitor clean water to DNA barcoding that stops wildlife trafficking, our first round of awards provides $23 million to seven organizations changing the world.

Global Impact Awards support organizations using technology and innovative approaches to tackle some of the world’s toughest human challenges.

Google Global Impact Award is looking  for organizations that meet three key criteria:

1. Innovative approach or technology that can deliver transformational impact
2. Specific project that tests a big game-changing idea
3. Brilliant team with successful track record and a healthy disregard for the impossible

Organizations receive a one-time grant to bring their big idea to life.

Global Impact Awards are not confined to a specific issue. We look for projects that help drive data-based decision making, transparency of results and accountability across the sector. We source ideas proactively through Googlers, and we do not accept unsolicited proposals at this time.
