Google.org Impact Challenge on Climate Innovation

Deadline: November 30, 2022

The Google.org Impact Challenge on Climate Innovation commits $30M to fund big bet projects that accelerate technological advances in climate information and action. Selected organizations may receive up to $5M in funding, along with access to Google’s technical expertise and products, to accelerate progress toward a more sustainable and resilient future.

Application Criteria

Ambition

We are looking for transformational solutions that have the potential for global impact. While your idea does not need to immediately reach millions of people globally, you should articulate how it could ultimately do so. We encourage collaboration between multiple organizations, as coalitions may be helpful for achieving the scale of solutions we’re hoping to support.

Impact

Projects should drive tangible, real-world impact for both the climate and people. The proposal should explain how it will tackle climate change and/or the extent to which it will support others to do so too. Successful applications will be grounded in data and research.

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 with the resources and expertise needed for implementation. Taking on big, scalable ideas with technology at their core is difficult, and we look for teams that are equipped to implement the proposed project.

Application Procedure

Organizations apply

All eligible organizations will submit a project proposal for how they would use funding and additional Google support to meaningfully address a key climate challenge.

Organizations selected

Google.org, along with partners and experts, review and select the top applicants as possible projects.

Funding and support

Selected organizations will receive significant funding, along with access to Google’s technical expertise and products, to accelerate progress toward a more sustainable and resilient future.
