During open application periods, please note the following before submitting your application:

• Review the program focus areas below.
• The information you provide in this form will be used in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

Focus Areas:

• Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). We place a particular focus on computer science education and STEM initiatives for underrepresented groups (including girls) in math and science professions.
• Efforts to bridge the digital divide.
• Carbon reduction or green initiatives with regional impact.
• Nonprofit organizations dedicated to strengthening the technology startup or entrepreneurial ecosystem.
• Technology infrastructure for nonprofits, cultural institutions and schools that will use technology to broaden impact and reach audiences in new ways.

When evaluating proposals we consider:

• Location and geographic impact in the immediate community surrounding one of our offices or data centers.
• Measurable and demonstrable benefit to the community—the number of persons who will benefit and at how that impact will be quantified.
• Organizational capacity that may include a track record of implementing programs.
• Integration with other community resources within the focus area, such as other nonprofits and government entities with similar goals.
• Innovative approaches that have potential for replication, if successful.
