Google.org's Giving 20 Million to Engineer a Better World for the Disabled

To further that goal, it's just awarded 20 million to the 30 nonprofits it believes could benefit most from its tech and data-driven approach to charitable giving. From open source electric wheelchairs to multi-lingual keyboards you can control with eye-tracking technology, the chosen projects focus on solutions for disabled people in five main categories: education, communication, mobility, independence, and employment. For Dot-org, as Googlers call it, this is a big moment. But today it's announced its full lineup, including 17 new nonprofits. Dot-org gave six of the 30 grantees more than 1 million to spend on advancing their causes.
