The NYTimes today posted an article about Google.org, which will be a for-profit based charity that will make money, pay taxes, etc... but will be working towards various chariable causes from hybrid cars to public health. The Google founders have given $1 Billion in seed money to get the project rolling, and have hired Larry Brilliant (a totally amazing guy who helped eradicated Small Pox) to lead it. As usual, Google is trying a different approach to solve problems, and I hope they can find the same success with this project as they have with so many of their other projects!
