The Google Foundation

Why does Google have a separate foundation?

Early in the formation of Google.org, Google took the value of 10% of the 3 million shares from Google's initial public stock offering and used those funds to establish the tax-exempt Google Foundation. The Google Foundation is managed by Google.org and supports its mission and core initiatives.

Where can I find the Google Foundation financial statements?

As a private foundation, we annually file a Form 990-PF with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, which provides financial information and lists grants awarded during the fiscal year. You can find those forms, as well as our articles of incorporation and bylaws, below.

Do your Forms 990-PF list all of Google.org's grants?

Because the Foundation is only one source of funds used by Google.org for grant making and investments, these forms do not provide a comprehensive list of giving. For that, please see our Grants & Investments page.

As a private foundation, the Google Foundation annually files a Form 990-PF with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service providing financial information and listing grants awarded during the fiscal year by the Foundation. We've provided below our recent Forms 990-PF:

• 2007 Google Foundation Form 990-PF
• 2006 Google Foundation Form 990-PF
• 2005 Google Foundation Form 990-PF
• 2004 Google Foundation Form 990-PF

Additionally, we plan to post the Google Foundation's audited annual financial statements as they become available.

• 2007 Google Foundation Audited Financial Statements
• 2006 Google Foundation Audited Financial Statements
• 2005 Google Foundation Audited Financial Statements
  

The Google Foundation has as its organizational and operational documents:

• Articles of Incorporation
• Bylaws
• Audit Committee charter

Google Page Creator is no longer accepting new sign-ups.

Google is no longer accepting new sign-ups for Page Creator because we have shifted our focus to developing Google Sites, which offers many of the capabilities of Page Creator along with new features like site-level navigation, site-level headers, control over who can see and edit your site, and rich embeddings like calendars, videos, and Google docs.

If you are currently a Page Creator user, you can continue to use Page Creator and your pages will automatically be transitioned to Google Sites later this year. We are committed to making this transition as smooth and easy as possible, and we will post more details as we get closer to the transition time. You can also manually move your web pages from Page Creator to Google Sites or other service providers at any time.

Google Sites overview

Google Sites is the easiest way to make information accessible to people who need quick, up-to-date access. People can work together on a Site to add file attachments, information from other Google applications (like Google Docs, Google Calendar, YouTube and Picasa), and new free-form content. Creating a site together is as easy as editing a document, and you always control who has access, whether it's just yourself, your team, or your whole organization. You can even publish Sites to the world. The Google Sites web application is accessible from any internet connected computer.

Quick facts

Single-click page creation Creating a new page for your Google Site just takes the click of a button.
