I hadn't heard that we were applying, but I've made a successful application in the past, so happy to assist with future bids.

We were blown away by the thoughtfulness and innovation in the hundreds of fantastic submissions we received. We unfortunately had to make some tough decisions in narrowing down the pool and wanted to let you know that the project submitted by your organisation was not selected as a one of the 10 finalists. We want to sincerely thank you for the time, thought and energy you put into your application.

While we can’t include all projects in the next phase of the Global Impact Challenge, we do want to share information about various resources available to UK non-profits:

·         Google Grants empowers non-profit organisations, through $10,000 per month in in-kind AdWords™ advertising, to promote their missions and initiatives on Google.co.uk. Get started at http://www.google.co.uk/grants/.

·         YouTube for Non-profits helps you tell your organisation’s story through videos. Benefits include donation buttons that allow viewers to contribute to your cause online right from YouTube videos, Call-to-action overlays that let viewers click to visit your website or learn more, live streaming video footage right onto your YouTube channel, and much more. Get started at https://www.youtube.com/nonprofits?info_mode=worldwide.

·         Google Earth Outreach supports non-profit organizations with software grants for Enterprise versions of our mapping products. Eligible non-profits can apply for a grant of Google Earth Pro, Google Maps Engine, Google Maps API for Business and Google Maps Coordinate. Get started here: http://www.google.co.uk/earth/outreach/grants/software/index.html

Also learn more about how video, social media and other online tools can help you do more on a limited budget by checking out the Grow Your Charity Online resource from Google, Media Trust and Charity Technology Trust.

We hope you find the above resources helpful for your organisation - and, once again, thank you for your application to the Global Impact Challenge in the UK.

Sincerely,

The Global Impact Challenge Team
