The deadline for applying to the Google.org Impact Challenge for Women and Girls is coming up, on 9 April.

Google has committed $25 million, and selected charitable initiatives will receive up to $2 million each (£1.46m), as well as opportunities for mentorship and additional support.
The Challenge is open to any not-for-profit charity, other not-for-profit organisation, public or private academic or research institution, or for-profit social enterprise company with a project with an explicit charitable purpose. Specifically, projects must create pathways to prosperity for women and girls or empower them to reach their full economic potential.
