Google Ad Grants for Nonprofits

Google Partner

Is your nonprofit taking full advantage of the free ad spending available from Google? Google Ad Grants allow nonprofits to receive a monthly stipend of up to $10,000 ($120,000/yr) for ad campaigns. When set up properly, this translates to thousands of new visitors every month.

Through keyword research and targeted campaigns, your nonprofit can use Google Ad Grants to expand your reach and get in front of audiences who want to support your mission.

Our Nonprofit Google Ad Grant Services

Google Ad Grant Set Up

Before we begin, we’ll ensure your Google Ad Grant is set up and active. If you're not sure where to start, we can help your organization apply for or reinstate your grant. Then we will ensure your account is set up properly and meets all of Google’s compliance rules.

Google Ad Grant Strategy + Content Creation

To set you up for success, we start by understanding where you stand today through an Ad Grant Health Report, preliminary keyword research, and a look at your website's current traffic.

From there, we'll share recommendations and best practices to make sure your landing pages are built to convert and drive supporters to your cause.

Google Ad Grant Campaign Creation + Tracking

We'll create a series of Google ads that build awareness, grow your supporter base, and move your marketing goals forward. This includes developing and launching your campaigns, made up of multiple ad groups and ads, along with conversion tracking so we can measure what's working.

Keyword Research

Keyword research helps us understand the current landscape and identify opportunities to reach new, targeted audiences. We'll use the learnings to rebuild the account with keywords and matching ad copy based on your currently available content.

Nonprofit Google Ad Grant Account Optimization

Regularly monitoring and adjusting your ad campaigns ensures you make the most of Google’s $10,000 offering and drive valuable traffic to your website.

Optimizations can include adding or pausing keywords, editing ad copy, adjusting bids and budgets, and more.

Tracking + Reporting

Our team will share regular updates on how your Grant is performing, backed by data visualizations, analysis, and key takeaways. We'll also build new campaigns to grow your Google Ad Grant account strategically. Meetings with your Ad Grant specialist give us a chance to review performance, discuss content recommendations, and identify future campaign opportunities.
