A Google Ad Grant is a significant way for your non-profit to increase awareness, participation, membership, and fundraising.
Through Ad Grants, Google will give a qualifying non-profit up to $10,000 per month in Google search ads.
Benefits
The primary benefit is that you can receive up to $10k/month in Google Ads. This will help increase website activity, and allow you to reach more of the people who are looking for you and your mission.
Requirements
To qualify for a Google Ad Grants, an organization must have a non-profit status – 501(c)(3) validated by TechSoup, which is another great source for non-profits.
Governmental organizations or entities, hospitals or healthcare organizations, schools, institutes, or universities do not qualify.
How to Get and Use a Google Ad Grant
There are a few steps to getting started. First, you’ll need to get a Google for Nonprofits account. Once that is verified, create a Google Ad Grants account, submit a survey, take some training, and then get pre-qualified. When that has been reviewed and verified, you can start creating campaigns and placing ads!
Conclusion
