German Freiwald, Senior Strategist, Google Grants
Google Grants is a unique in-kind donation program awarding free AdWords advertising to select charitable organizations. It supports organizations that share Google’s philosophy of community service to help the world in areas such as science and technology, education, global public health, the environment, youth advocacy, and the arts. Google Grants allows non-profits to raise awareness and engage more supporters through online advertising.
Colin Mutchler, Co-Founder, Loudsauce
LoudSauce is a social way to buy ad space to promote your favorite causes on billboards and television. There are many great projects out there, but they usually have limited awareness and poor marketing. LoudSauce will aggregate supporters’ micro-contributions to amplify these organizations’ efforts, therefore broadening and deepening their ultimate impact.
Lloyd Nimetz, Founder, Blitz Bazaar
Blitz Bazaar’s community-action platform connects community members with a wide-array of social-cause actions they can take (online and offline) to make their community and the world a better place. Blitz Bazaar tailors its platform to specific constituencies (universities, corporations, churches, synagogues and local governments) to foster tighter communities and increase their members’ level of civic engagement and public service. The platform focuses exclusively on non-monetary opportunities to give.
