Ice Bucket Challenge

was also started by The ALS Association and raised an incredible level of
awareness around the need to find a cure for an extremely serious illness.

Google.org Impact Challenge
The Google Impact Challenge connects the company with
nonprofits, lending funding and the help of Google volunteers
to winning organizations.
This campaign drives awareness and engagement by:
1. Setting high stakes. Google is a big entity with massive
resources.
2. Taking on big issues. And as such, they’re able to do big
things that get a lot of attention and help advance tough
problems in a meaningful way.
3. Actively encouraging participation. They’re actively raising
awareness for everyone who enters (even if they don’t win)
just by giving them exposure.
