The Google.org Impact
Challenge (GIC) is an open call for submissions for funding from organizations
across the world who are empowering women and girls to advance in the economy.
Google.org will provide funding to selected organizations out of a US$25 million
fund.
Gender inequity is one of the most urgent challenges we face as a
society, and COVID-19 has put the economic future of women and girls
at even greater risk. At Google.org, they believe that solving big problems
requires collective action, and the people closest to the challenges are often
those closest to the solution.
They want to support organizations helping women
and girls turn their economic potential into power: from programs addressing
systemic barriers to economic equality, to those cultivating entrepreneurship,
developing financial independence, and more.
Funding Information
Google.org will provide funding to selected
organizations out of a US$25 million fund. We expect each fund size may
range from US$300,000 to US$2 million, but will ultimately be allocated
based on project needs.
Eligibility Criteria
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. We’re looking for innovators who
understand the needs within both their local communities and countries. Final
discretion as to which organizations and which projects are funded are up to
Google.org. Your organization must have a registered office in your country of
residence. Organizations located in Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, or Syria
and projects in those countries are not eligible to apply. Unfortunately,
individuals without organizational affiliation are ineligible.
