The Motorola Mobility Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Motorola Mobility, is accepting applications for the 2012 Empowerment Grants, a funding program designed to help United States-based nonprofit organizations develop mobile applications and use mobile technology that will help transform and benefit the communities they serve. The program addresses four areas of focus — education, health and wellness, community, and arts and culture. Successful applications must demonstrate the ways that digital, mobile, and social technology can be used to further a nonprofit organization’s mission. Examples include producing a crowd-sourcing site for community resource mapping, creating a digital storytelling application that captures oral histories of a community, developing a resource for social media use to further engage volunteers, and using new ideas of “gamefication in education” to engage students. The total amount of funding for the Empowerment Grants program is $500,000; the program will fund approximately twenty grants. The average grant size is $25,000. After March 1, organizations can visit www.cybergrants.com/motorolamobility/empowermentgrants to apply.
