“I remain a technology optimist.
Not because I believe in technology,
but because I believe in people.”
- Sundar Pichai
We are always inspired to see what people do when they have access to technology. We know that people are changing the world through their own creativity and passion and that sometimes technology lends a hand. So we wanted to do our part to make sure that technology brings opportunity to everyone.
That is why we created Grow with Google
Now more than ever, Americans need digital skills to land the jobs they want, advance their careers, and grow their businesses. Grow with Google aims to help by providing training, tools and expertise.
Since 2017, more than eleven million Americans* have grown their businesses and careers with help from Grow with Google’s trainings and in-person workshops. And through a network of more than 9,000 partner organizations* - including local libraries, schools, and nonprofits—more people across the country have access to our online tools and flexible programs.
We believe that technology has the power to unlock new opportunities for growth. When those opportunities are available to everyone, communities across the country can achieve their full potential.
- Small Business Owners can build their online presence and find new customers.
- Job Seekers and Students can learn the skills they need to get the jobs they want in today’s evolving economy.
- Veterans and Military Families can access tools and resources designed to help with the transition to civilian life and to build meaningful careers.

Philanthropy
Through Google.org, Google’s philanthropic arm, we’ve also made grants to several organizations, helping them extend their impact.
Google's commitment of $180M has enabled Opportunity Finance Network to establish the Grow with Google Small Business Fund and OFN's Grant Program, funded by Google.org to assist Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) working with underserved small businesses. To date, over $149M in loans and grants have been disbursed to OFN member CDFIs.
We hope that by making our resources available to everyone online, by bringing hands-on training into communities across the country, and by supporting organizations working to expand access to digital tools and training, we can help all Americans grow their skills, their opportunities, and their futures.
