The Curbside Chronicle is the winner of the popular vote in the Google.org Impact Challenge in Oklahoma City, and will take home an additional $50,000.

Funds received by the organization now total $100,000 and will support their work to create economic opportunity in the Oklahoma City area. Google.org granted $50,000 to four organizations, including The Curbside Chronicle, plus the bonus $50,000 for winning a popular vote among the people.

“We opened up the vote to Oklahoma City area residents and we were inspired by the overwhelming response we received,” Oklahoma Head of Community Affairs for Google Andrew Silvestri said. “Thank you to everyone who voted and rallied behind all four of these outstanding organizations. We look forward to seeing The Homeless Alliance and Curbside Chronicle create new economic opportunities and reach new audiences in Oklahoma City and beyond.”

The Curbside Chronicle plans to expand their print magazine into a multimedia content and e-commerce platform.
