Safer Internet

Helping youth and seniors stay safe online
Singapore-based social enterprise,
Bamboo Builders, whose
SG ScamWISE
initiative combines research, community training, and youth-led outreach
to help 100,000 youth and seniors in Singapore stay safe online.
Helping communities combat scams
We support organizations, nonprofits, and industry leaders to help protect vulnerable communities from online threats. By leading workshops, awareness campaigns, and scaled learning resources we are able to support those most at risk to better identify scams and protect themselves from cyber threats.
Strengthening our global cybersecurity capabilities
Technologies like AI are presenting both opportunities and threats to cybersecurity — making access to cyber education and training increasingly essential. We are helping nonprofits and small businesses protect and educate themselves by making cyber-risk training accessible.

Helping organizations across Asia deepen their cybersecurity
capacity
With a $15M grant, we supported The Asia Foundation in launching the APAC
Cybersecurity Fund in partnership with
CyberPeace Institute
and
Global Cyber Alliance
— bolstering the cyber capabilities of 300,000 small businesses,
nonprofits, and social enterprises.

Growing media literacy and online safety program offerings for young
people
Since 2018, we have supported more than 60 organizations in developing
media literacy and online safety programs for youth through Google’s
open-sourced
Be Internet Awesome
curriculum. The program has been scaled to
European organizations
focused on protecting and supporting kids online.
Promoting online safety for young people
We are committed to helping young people become confident and responsible digital citizens. With the skills needed to safely navigate the internet, our next generation can mitigate online harms and make educated decisions about their digital footprint.
Helping improve youth digital wellbeing
We support organizations that help kids build healthy, productive relationships with technology by promoting engaging content, campaigns, and training that focus on fostering strong technology habits and positive mental wellbeing.

Supporting mental health and wellbeing for high schoolers
Selena Gomez, founder of The Rare Impact Fund, sits with High Schoolers

announcing $10M in new funding
from Google.org for youth mental health and education nonprofits. By
bringing mental health resources and training to high school students and
educators across the country, we can foster better tech habits and digital
well-being among young people.
Crisis Response
Supporting new strategies for disaster relief
GiveDirectly
is revolutionizing disaster relief efforts in vulnerable regions by using
AI to identify low-income households during a crisis
and send cash directly to those affected. Google.org has provided $22M in
grants as well as a team of machine learning experts to accelerate their
mission.
Providing immediate relief
We coordinate responses to natural disasters and humanitarian and complex crises globally by working with organizations to ensure fast, holistic, and more effective responses that harnesses the best of Google.
Supporting long-term resilience
We recognize that recovery often means intentional and long-term support for communities rebuilding and repairing from crisis. We work with nonprofits on the frontlines of both global disaster response and local community aid by providing funding and technical expertise.
