Google extended the eligibility period for Giving Through Glass, an initiative the company launched in October to put its wearable computing device, Google Glass, in the hands of U.S. **nprofit organizations.

Giving Through Glass will select five **nprofits from a pool of applicants to receive the device and a trip to a Google Glass (http://mashable.com/category/project-glass/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) training center to learn how to use it. In addition to the wearable computer, the program will also award each of the organizations a $25,000 grant
