Google.org work initiative | Invitation to Apply    OVERVIEW AND CRITERIA    Background  Google.org has ​announced​ a $50 million initiative to help people prepare for the changing nature of work. To kick  off this initiative, we are searching for nonprofits who have new solutions, enabled by tech and innovation, that  help prepare people for, and improve access to, stable and secure jobs with pathways for growth. Over the next  year we’ll be focused on supporting projects in the US, Canada, ​Europe, and Australia; ​learning from these  projects; and communicating back what we learn.    You can learn more about our approach ​here​.     We are seeking nonprofit solutions in four different areas:  ● Skill-building:​ New approaches to helping people identify and develop skills that are relevant for  high-demand jobs.   ● Job quality​: Solutions that improve the stability, growth potential, or economic security of low-wage jobs.   ● Matching​: Tools that help jobseekers best match their unique skills and talents with positions.    ● Social safety nets: ​Experimental approaches to ensuring that no one is left behind by the labor market  and to helping people weather economic transitions.     What We’re Looking For  ● Big idea: ​Does the solution address the problem in a big way? If successful, would the solution move the  needle on improving access to quality work for underserved audiences?  ● Innovation at the core: ​Projects should take new and innovative approaches toward problems. Innovation  doesn’t need to mean technology, but we certainly have a bias for it where appropriate. We love ideas that  concoct totally new approaches, but innovative applications of existing approaches are also welcomed.  ● Feasibility: ​Can the big idea actually be brought to life? Can the grantee assemble the right vision,  resources, and strategy to succeed? Technically, can the product be developed? Does the team have a  track record of success or other evidence that it can pull this off?  ● Scale: ​Does the solution have a pathway to serve multiple geographies and beneficiaries?  ● Reaches underserved communities:​ Does the solution target populations who lack the resources to thrive  in the labor market? ​Note:​ We are predominately focused on solutions that help people without college  degrees.    To learn more about how we think about our approach to philanthropy check out some of our previous work ​here​.    Organization Eligibility  Nonprofits and public charities from the US, Canada, Europe and Australia​ ​are eligible to submit an idea. Your  organization must hold valid and current charity status as determined by the legislation of your country of  incorporation. During the review process, you may be asked to provide documentation confirming your charitable  status and other materials such as financial statements to Google and/or its agents.    The following entities are not eligible to submit ideas: governmental entities and organizations including but not  limited to public schools and public universities, for-profit organizations, and individuals. We are open to  applications from supporting foundations of public universities, or nonprofits which are collaborating with public  universities.
