A Google Earth Outreach project on population density.

Lots of nonprofits are using Google Earth to tell their stories. You can read about some specific groups' goals, challenges and best practices, and the overall impact of visualizing their work on Google Earth in the Google Earth Outreach Case Studies or in TechSoup's article Reach Out with Google Earth Outreach.

You can see more examples of how public-minded groups and individuals are using Google Earth to bring a valuable geographic context to their stories on the Google Earth Showcase.

Charitable organizations can also apply online for Google Earth Pro grants (a $400 value); grantees will receive additional technical support from Google.
