Google.org Impact Challenge Dublin 2018

Let’s work together to create more opportunity in Ireland

The Google.org Impact Challenge Dublin rallies the county around bold ideas to make our city even better.

A panel of advisors helped us select 15 nonprofits with innovative ideas for growing economic & social opportunity in Ireland, and each will receive €50,000 in grant funding and Google training.

The public has now voted for the cause they believe has the most promise, and the People's Choice winner will receive an additional €50,000.

Meet the winners

Each of our winners receives a share of €1 million in grant funding as they continue to help build opportunity in Dublin.
