Supporting nonprofits around the world this holiday season Instead of the well off giving their families expensive gifts we should be rather making contributions to those less well off. For me it loses the meaning of the Festive Season if we are not thinking about those less fortunate, unless our ivory tower's don't have windows. It could be time or cash. At this time I give to our local children's street shelter as well as the local Cart Horse Protection Association. The great thing is we all have different interests so the benefits spread across human, animal and environmental organisations. As far as Google is concerned they (and other tech companies) are also doing their bit: From remote villages in India, to schools across the U.S., to refugee and migrant camps in Africa, technology can help people start a business, further their education, or access new — and sometimes vital — information. Google.org supports hundreds of nonprofits globally who are working to open up opportunities for the most vulnerable populations. As part of this ongoing work, this holiday season we’re donating $30 million in grant funding to nonprofits to bring phones, tablets, hardware and training to communities that can benefit from them most. This holiday giving brings our total grant funding for nonprofits this year to more than $100 million.
