Foundation Receives $280,000 Donation from Google and YouTube
In response to the brave work of San Bruno’s first responders who supported YouTube during a violent incident at its San Bruno headquarters on April 3, Google.org and Google and YouTube employees are donating more than $280,000 to the Foundation.
The funds will support first responder effectiveness training and other related programs in partnership with the San Bruno Police and Fire Departments, building upon the First Responder Effectiveness Strategic Initiative that the Foundation launched in March 2018 with grant funding.
Google and YouTube are making a $100,000 grant to the Foundation to support first responder programs in San Bruno. They also invited their employees to express their gratitude to the first responders by making individual donations to this effort, which Google.org will match. In the first 48 hours, more than 800 Googlers from around the world donated more than $90,000. With Google.org’s initial $100,000 grant and its matching donation, the Foundation expects to receive more than $280,000 from the Google/YouTube community.
“We are grateful to our police and fire departments for their swift and thoughtful response in the face of tragedy in San Bruno, and to Google.org and the entire Google and YouTube community for partnering with the Foundation to strengthen first responder prevention and preparedness efforts in our community,” commented Nancy Kraus, Foundation President. “The Google/YouTube donations will support programs that help ensure that San Bruno’s first responders will be ready and prepared to act in future public safety incidents.”
