Google.org - The Philanthropic Wing of Google

Posted on Monday, January 01, 2007 by Arun Basil Lal

Google is a multi billion organisation made to serve the people of the world. Google has got an award winning policy to 'DO NO EVIL'. To bring this policy into action google has got a separate wing that reaches out to the billions of needy people around the globe who needs a helping hand.
Sergey Brin & Larry Page, the founders of Google, hope that  someday Google.org will be more famous than Google.com.

In their words...
 " We hope that someday this institution will eclipse Google itself in overall world impact by ambitiously applying innovation and significant resources to the largest of the world's problems. "
 
Google.org brings out the works of Google Foundation that uses Google's talent, technology and resources to solve the problems faced by mankind. It also supports several profit and non-profit organisations. Several potential areas like global poverty, enviornment and energy related issues are given thrust.

To fight poverty it has got the 'Acumen Fund'. A program named 'TechnoServe' supports enterpreneurs.  'Water Research' is another program that deals with issues related to the availability of good quality water.
For India Google has the program 'PlanetRead'. This organisation works to improve the literacy in India. ( Thank you Google ! )
A program named Google Grants (
