We applaud any opportunity to promote the use of mapping technology in the nonprofit sector. As such, we wanted to highlight an innovative grant program from Google that is aimed that fostering the use of mapping technologies on the non-profit level.

The Google Geo Challenge grant program presents an opportunity for non-profits to receive grants from $5,000 and $100,000, either directly from Google.org, or through grant recommendations from the Google.org Fund of Tides Foundation. The application process is open right now and closes on December 22. Click here to apply.

So, if you are a non-profit benefiting from the use of mapping technologies (examples include mapping of avian flu trends, deforestation trends, tracking patterns of refugee movements), we recommend you check out this opportunity.
