Grant Description

Grants and in-kind support to USA, Canada, and International nonprofit organizations, for-profit companies, and academic and research institutions for projects addressing climate change. Funding is intended for proposals that address global climate issues and expand the current understanding of climate change. Grantees will receive customized support to help bring projects to life.

The Google.org Impact Challenge on Climate Innovation commits funding to fund big bet projects that accelerate technological advances in climate information and action. Selected organizations may receive funding, along with access to Google’s technical expertise and products, to accelerate progress toward a more sustainable and resilient future.

Google wants to support the work of nonprofits, experts, and organizations around the world that will accelerate advances in climate information and action. Google is looking for solutions that help the global community illuminate previously opaque climate challenges and enable collective climate actions. Past Google.org supported initiatives help map emissions on a global scale, restore ecosystems, and enable small businesses to understand their carbon footprint.

Application criteria:

Ambition: Google is looking for transformational solutions that have potential for global impact.
Impact: Projects should drive tangible, real world impact for both the climate and people.
Innovative use of technology: Ideas should apply technology by creating or enabling new solutions and approaches. Applications can also propose innovative applications of existing technology - solutions that apply AI and machine learning are encouraged!
Feasibility: Successful proposals will have well-developed and realistic execution plans supported by the resources and expertise needed for implementation.
