Maps For Good: Google Earth Outreach Developer Grants 2012
Thursday, July 19, 2012
(Cross posted from
the Lat Long Blog
)
In 2011, the
Google Earth Outreach
team
awarded
a first round of
Developer Grants
to organizations with outstanding mapping ideas. These grants support the technical development of maps and enable nonprofits to implement cutting-edge mapping technology to make an impact on the world.
This year at
Google I/O
, we announced the
2012 Google Earth Outreach Developer Grants program
in a session called “
Maps for Good
.” We were honored to have two developers speaking on behalf of organizations who were awarded a Developer Grant in 2011, including Jake Wall from
Save the Elephants
and Kevin Bluer from
AXS Map
.
Learn more
about their projects, as well as other 2011 grantee work for inspiration on how mapping could bring your nonprofit’s work to life.
Over the past few months, we’ve seen more nonprofits
making use of tools like Google Maps Engine
and developing
applications on Android devices
. We expect to see project proposals with innovative ideas that address the world’s most pressing problems in the areas of the environment, humanitarian issues, disaster preparedness, at both the local and global level.
Be inspired by how mapping can help spread your nonprofit’s message
Visit the
Google Earth Outreach
website to learn more about this year’s
Developer Grants program
and make sure your organization is in an eligible country. The deadline to apply with your initial project proposal is August 1, 2012 at 11:59pm PST.
Good luck to all of this year’s applicants!
