Google is giving away a load of money to non-profit organisations to develop potentially world-changing technology, which is nice of them!
Only, they haven't decided who to give most of the money to. So, they're asking people to vote for their favourite projects!
There's quite a range of stuff, including apps for helping you get into work, improving your mental health and even managing your social care.
You can see and vote for the 10 finalists here.
What do you think of the entries? And who did you vote for?!

Here's the official Google blurb, which explains things more clearly:

I voted for we are what we do because I think its was really important. It would be great if games could improve young peoples lives
There don't seem to be any bad choices really! I suppose it's more a question of priorities..
Mike: that link is pretty disheartening. Feels like it's something most people kind of know on some level (though maybe not how extreme it is), but are reluctant to really engage with. The DRC wildlife project was one of my votes too
Becki: hehe, glad it worked in the end! I like the We Are What We Do project too (another of my votes). Seems like an effective way to get people thinking about their mental health a bit more. Did you know that we're releasing our own app soon?! It'll be called 'Stress Heads' and will try and help people manage stress and anxiety! Keep an eye out for it #ShamelessAdvertising
Same here Helen, Centrepoint #1, followed by Catch22, St Giles Trust & We Are What We Do
The voting had probably closed already
The winner of the popular vote was the RNIB with this project. The 3 other winners (as chosen by the judges) were Kew Gardens, Centrepoint and WeFarm.
