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.
