Tech giant Google has introduced a new €1 million fund to support non-profit entrepreneurs looking to “grow economic and social opportunities” in local Dublin communities. The Google.org Dublin Impact Challenge is aimed at non-profits, social enterprises and educators throughout Dublin who are invited to submit proposals for “bold ideas to grow economic and social opportunities in their local communities”. Google will select 15 proposals, each of which will receive €50,000 to bring their ideas to life. Of the 15, four projects will be selected by a panel of judges to receive an additional €50,000. “We’re looking to fund projects that are tackling some of the biggest social challenges in our communities across Dublin,” said head of Google in Ireland Fionnuala Meehan.
