In today’s digital-first world, visibility is everything. But for nonprofits, advertising budgets often fall short. Enter Google Ad Grants—a game-changing opportunity that gives nonprofits up to $10,000 per month in free Google Search ad credits.
What Are Google Ad Grants?
Google Ad Grants is part of Google for Nonprofits, offering qualifying organizations up to $10,000 monthly in-kind ad credits to feature on Google Search. It allows nonprofits to show text-based ads precisely when people are searching for terms relevant to their mission—whether that’s volunteering, donating, or discovering more about their cause.
Why Nonprofits Should Care
Google’s search engine dominates with over 90% market share, meaning Ad Grants allow nonprofits to be found by the right people—without spending a dime.
Key Benefits:
Boost Awareness & Visibility: Show up at the top of search results when potential donors, volunteers, or beneficiaries are looking for help.
Increase Website Traffic: Drive targeted traffic to pages like donation forms, volunteer sign-ups, or event registration.
Track & Optimize Performance: Use Google Analytics to monitor click-through rates, conversion goals, and campaign effectiveness.
Amplify Multiple Initiatives: Run campaigns for events, advocacy, awareness, and fundraising all at once.
Equal Footing for Small Organizations: Smaller nonprofits can leverage the same monthly $10,000 credit as larger entities—no competition required.
Who’s Eligible—and How to Get Started
To participate, your organization must:
Be a registered nonprofit (e.g., a 501(c)(3) in the U.S.) or its equivalent in other eligible countries.
Apply for a Google for Nonprofits account and complete the verification process.
Have a functional, secure, mission-focused website (with SSL and Google Analytics installed).
Adhere to program policy—e.g., no single-word keywords, proper CTR, conversion tracking, and account structure.
Unlocking the Grant—and Keeping It Working for You
Apply: Register via Google for Nonprofits and submit your site for review.
Campaign Buildout: Create targeted ads with relevant keywords, multiple ad groups, and responsive search ads.
Monitor & Optimize: Regularly review performance data—CTR, conversions, keyword quality—and update campaigns to stay compliant and effective.
