Does anyone know if Google, Yahoo or another large search engine company offers grants for non-profit organizations who want to create a website? Where can I make a proposal or find an application for this?

If you will fetch a gmail userid FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION (make sure the gmail userid is appropriate for your organization – I at first set it up for me and later had to change it), you may then buy a domain name and develop Google Apps for Your Domain (or also called Google Sites).
If you have a non-profit organization, you may qualify for assistance with your enterprise from Google. There is documentation on this assistance, during the process of application for Google Apps for Your Domain.
I almost, but didn’t, apply for that assistance, for one of my not-for-profit clients…simply because I’m a lazy cuss and I already paid for their domain name and I pay for it myself and they don’t know about my payments. In all other respects, Google Apps for Your Domain is Free: it includes:
- space for website files
- shared gmail for the domain
- shared calendaring
- shared documents
- shared chats
- a shared “start page” (like a shared logon page, which is a Personalized version of a Google Home page)
- …and some other things
Maybe worth checking out?
Google or Yahoo does not give grants for creating a website.
What Google gives is their free advertising program for non profits, assuming the non profit has a website. Yahoo has nothing
