So, what’s a Google Grant?

Qualified nonprofits may place “paid” ads in Google search results at no cost to your organization. That’s right — it’s free advertising once you set up and manage the grant properly.

And who’s eligible?

Any nonprofit with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status (excluding schools, hospitals, and government agencies) whose website meets Google’s standards of quality.

Why bother with a Google Grant?

Paid advertising often gets pushed to the bottom of the list for nonprofits due to budget, time, or simply being busy… but the payback on your investment can be massive. It brings more visibility — and dollars — to your organization. Reinvest that profit back into your mission and you’ve got a win-win.

Why work with an agency?

Properly setting up the grant, experimenting with keywords, and optimizing the grant weekly or monthly requires time and expertise that many non-profits do not have. Working with an agency to professionally manage your Google Grant improves performance, saves time, and removes headache.
