Google has launched Google for Nonprofits in Nigeria to empower not-for-profit organisations by providing them with free premium services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For organisations that qualify, Google for nonprofits gives access to a collection of premium applications, the same tools large enterprise corporations use at no cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to head of Government Affairs and Public Policy, West Africa, Google, Titi Akinsanmi, once approved, qualifying nonprofits can gain access to programs such as Google Ad Grants, G-Suite for nonprofits and YouTube\u2019s non-profit program among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She explained that nonprofits can qualify for a grant of up to $10,000 a month, which is available for six months through October 2020, to spend on text-based adverts among other offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor an NPO to be eligible for the Google for nonprofits program, it must be a registered nonprofit charitable organisation in Nigeria and verified by TechSoup Nigeria. It must also meet eligibility criteria listed on the Google for Nonprofits page\u201d, she said<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This grant, she said, assists non-profit organisations to work more quickly and efficiently to reach a wider audience, spur more supporters to take action, and tell their story in a more compelling way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google also announced that its philanthropic arm, \u2018Google.org\u2019 will be giving a grant to Teach for Nigeria, a non-profit focused on support for students in underserved communities in Nigeria, while the COVID-19 school closures persist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The grant will fund a two-year teacher fellowship program to ensure more students in underserved communities get access to quality education, delivered by well-trained teaching staff. It will also fund an education intervention program to help children in underserved areas get education through alternative means like TV, radio and on-the- street public communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
