Opportunity: Google.org Impact Challenge for Women and Girls ($25 million)

Deadline: April 9th 2021

Applications for the 2021 Google.org Impact Challenge are open for organizations that empower women and girls.

For this challenge, selected charitable initiatives will receive up to $2 million, as well as opportunities for mentorship and additional support from Google. Google.org will 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.

Application criteria

  • Impact

Does your team have a well-developed, realistic plan, along with the right expertise and skills, to execute on the proposal? Has your team identified the right partners and domain experts for implementation? To best understand the needs of those you’re serving, does your team have women in positions of leadership?

  • Feasibility

How will the proposed project create pathways to prosperity for women and girls or empower them to reach their full economic potential, and to what extent? Is the application grounded in research and data about the problem and the solution? How many people will be affected if successful and to what extent?

  • Innovation

What is the core insight or innovation that differentiates this project from others, in philosophy or execution? What makes the proposed project unique?

  • Scalability

If successful, how can this project scale beyond the initial proposal? Can it scale directly, serve as a model for other efforts, or advance the field?

How it works

  • Organizations apply. There will be a two-stage application process, and applications must be submitted in English. In Stage 1, organizations submit their proposals for charitable projects creating pathways to prosperity for women and girls. Applications close at 23:59 GMT on April 9, 2021. Google.org will invite high-potential organizations to submit additional project information in Stage 2.
  • Organizations selected. Our panel of experts and our partners will review and provide input to help Google.org select organizations that will receive funding.
  • Funding and support. Each selected organization will receive between $300,000 and $2 million in funding and other support from Google. The selected organizations will be announced in late 2021.

If you believe you have what it takes to be part of this challenge, apply HERE on or before April 9th at 23:59 GMT.

All the best.
