Google Earth Pro for Non-profits

As a part of Google Earth Outreach, we grant Google Earth Pro licenses to qualifying organizations who demonstrate a need for the advanced features of Google Earth Pro. The free version of Google Earth has most of the features that non-profits need to create Google Earth layers. Compare Products.

The advanced features of Google Earth Pro include:
Movie Maker
GIS data import tools
High-resolution printing cabability
Area measurement

If you do not need the above features, the free version of Google Earth will suit your needs. Download Google Earth at earth.google.com

Google SketchUp Pro for Non-profits

Google SketchUp is free software that can be used to create, share and present 3-D models.

Try the free version of SketchUp. Download
Download free 3D models from the SketchUp 3D Warehouse.

Advanced non-profit users of SketchUp can apply for a Google SketchUp Pro grant. SketchUp Pro includes all the intuitive modeling features of the free version of SketchUp, plus exporters for a long list of 2D and 3D vector file formats.

Google Maps API Premier for Non-profits

The free Google Maps API lets you embed Google Maps into your own website. Most websites use the free Maps API. Learn more about Google Maps API and sign up for a free key. For high traffic websites with over 15,000 gecode requests per day, the Maps API Premier may be the right solution.

If your organization would like to create maps that will not be shared on a public domain, you can apply for Maps API Premier. Eligible non-profits who are accepted into the program can access the Google Maps APIs (Javascript, Flash, and Static) and Earth API from behind a firewall. An example would be a disaster relief organization who wants to map information that they can't release on a publicly accessible map.
*Note: The support team will prioritize paying customers but will offer support to non-profit customers through the grants program.
