What are Google Ad Grants?

Free Google Search ad credit for eligible nonprofits

Google Ad Grants gives eligible nonprofits up to $10,000/month in Google Search ad credit. That means your organization can appear when people search for topics related to your mission, services, events, or ways to help.

Someone searches

Example: "volunteer with youth programs" or "donate to animal rescue".

Your ad can appear

The grant helps cover the ad credit, so you are not paying for that search ad spend.

They land on your site

The important part is sending them to a page where they can take the next step.

We help make sure ads send visitors to pages that match what they were looking for.

Ongoing improvement

We review results, make updates, and help the grant work harder over time.

Search to action

Ads work best when they lead somewhere meaningful

The grant is not just about getting more clicks. It is about helping the right person find the right next step.

1

A search begins

A supporter, volunteer, donor, or community member starts looking for something related to your mission.

3

The right page opens

Instead of a generic homepage, they land somewhere relevant and useful.

5

The relationship grows

What starts as a search can become an ongoing connection with your organization.

2

Your organization appears

Your nonprofit shows up with a message that matches what they're looking for.

4

Someone takes action

They take the next step, whether that's giving, registering, volunteering, subscribing, or reaching out.

Reporting and optimization

Clear reports your team can actually use

Reporting should explain what people did after they clicked, not just how many clicks happened.

What we track

Traffic and clicks

Which searches and ads are bringing people to your site.

Landing page activity

Which pages visitors see, use, and leave.

Meaningful actions

Donations, forms, signups, applications, registrations, and other next steps.

What your team learns

What people are looking for

Searches can reveal real needs, questions, and supporter interest.

Where pages need support

If people click but do not act, the page may need clearer content or a better form path.

What to improve next

Monthly insights help guide campaign updates, page fixes, and future content.
