Google has announced it will give a total of £1m ($1.3m) to fund projects that help counter extremism in the UK, reported BBC.
The UK fund was part of a $5m global commitment, the search giant said.
Prime Minister Theresa May wants technology companies to be more proactive in shutting down spaces where extremist ideology is shared.
In a speech at the United Nations general assembly, she will challenge tech firms to take down terrorist material in two hours.
She is expected to urge Google, Facebook and Twitter to go "further and faster" in developing artificial intelligence tools that can spot terror propaganda.
On the same day, Twitter announced that it had taken down 300,000 terror accounts in the first six months of the year as its own AI tools improve.
Google's funding will be handed out in partnership with the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), a UK-based counter-extremist organisation.
An independent advisory board including academics, policymakers, educators, representatives from creative agencies, civil society and the technology sector will be accepting a first round of applications in November, with grants of between £2,000 and £200,000 awarded to successful proposals.
