Australia’s top not for profits and social enterprises are celebrating after winning millions of dollars in prize money for their use of technology to make a social difference.
Google divided $5.5 million between finalists and winners of its 2018 Impact Challenge, with groups pitching their ideas to a panel of judges featuring Professor Alan Finkel AO and Professor Tom Calma.
The winning ideas ranged from an app helping people with disability find a suitable carer, databases assisting NFPs to track impact, an anxiety reducing app, to a humanitarian ticketing platform.
The four winners – Xceptional, Humanitix, Orange Sky Laundry and Hireup – each received a $1 million grant, as well as training through a Google partnership, while each of the remaining finalists were awarded $250,000.
