Google.org Impact Grants (Impact Challenges)

What it is

Cash grants for nonprofits, academic institutions and for-profit social enterprises via Google.org's periodic themed Impact Challenge open calls — not a general business grant. The most recent global call (AI for Science, closed 1 May 2026) awarded $500K–$3M USD per organisation from a $30M fund, plus optional pro-bono Google technical support and Cloud credits.

Re-verified 2026-08-31 on google.org: Impact Challenge hub is live and describes an open-call programme, but the latest specific challenge checked, AI for Science, closed 1 May 2026. That call offered $500K-$3M USD per selected organisation from a $30M fund, plus optional Google.org Accelerator support, pro-bono technical support and Google Cloud credits. No currently-open challenge found on the hub, hence between_rounds with rolling:true/deadline:null per seed convention. valueMin/valueMax are indicative GBP conversions (~0.79) of the latest call's USD band; amounts and themes vary substantially per challenge. Funder-stated eligibility the engine cannot fully express: nonprofits, social enterprises and academic/research institutions only (modelled here as social-enterprise sector); themed calls often require AI as a central component and open-source/shared-output licensing conditions.
