In short: Discover how Google.org operates as a philanthropic engine. This session explores the organization's strategic approach to addressing large-scale crises through targeted donations and pro-bono expertise.

In this recorded conversation from July 2020, Jacquelline Fuller, President of Google.org, outlines the organization's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of mere donations, the organisation prioritises a strategy based on three components: distance learning, economic recovery and relief, plus science and health.

The discussion highlights the dual nature of corporate philanthropy, which combines direct financial donations with pro-bono project support. This model aims to provide systemic support for global challenges while aligning with the broader mission of accessible education and public welfare.
