You've heard about Google Ad Grants, but the eligibility and application process feels complicated. We help you understand the requirements, prepare for the process, and work toward activation.

Your organization has access to the Grant, but the account is sitting unused. We build the campaigns, keyword strategy, tracking and landing-page journey needed to get it working.

Our Grant Barely Spends

Your campaigns are live, but you are using only a fraction of the available Grant. We identify the constraints limiting delivery and look for relevant opportunities to expand coverage and utilization.

Get the Grant. Keep it Working.

Google Ad Grants accounts operate under program-specific requirements in addition to standard Google Ads policies.

5% Account-Level CTR

Your Grant account needs to maintain Google's required performance threshold. We monitor CTR and identify keywords, campaigns, and search themes that may be dragging performance down.

Keyword Compliance

Single-word keywords are generally not permitted, with limited exceptions. We review keyword structure, search intent and relevance to keep campaigns aligned with the program's requirements.

Meaningful Conversion Tracking

Google requires accurate conversion tracking for applicable Ad Grants accounts. We make sure important actions such as donations, volunteer registrations, ticket sales, memberships, sign-ups and enquiries can be measured properly.

Campaign Structure

Google requires at least two tightly themed ad groups per campaign and at least two sitelink assets. We build account structures around clear search intent, relevant ads and useful destination pages.

Bidding & Budget Strategy

The Grant provides up to $10,000 per month, but that is a budget limit rather than a guarantee of spend. Actual delivery depends on factors including search demand, competition, targeting, ad quality, conversion data, and bidding strategy.

Website & Landing Page Quality

Your ads are only as useful as the experience they send people to. Google requires a high-quality, functional website that provides value to visitors and accurately reflects the nonprofit's mission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Google Ad Grants is a Google program that gives eligible nonprofit organizations access to up to $10,000 USD per month in in-kind Google Search advertising. The program is designed to help nonprofits raise awareness, attract donors, recruit volunteers and reach people searching for their mission.

No.

The $10,000 is a monthly advertising budget limit, not a guarantee that every account will spend the full amount. Actual delivery depends on factors including search demand, competition, bids, targeting, ad quality and conversion data.

Eligibility depends on Google's current Google for Nonprofits requirements and the country where the organization is registered.

Google's eligibility rules include specific exclusions and requirements, so nonprofits should check the current requirements before applying.

Yes.

We can review the existing account, identify what still needs to be configured and build the campaigns, tracking and landing-page journey needed to get started.

Common issues can include limited search volume, overly restrictive targeting, bidding strategy, conversion tracking, ad quality, geographic targeting and campaign structure.

Google specifically recommends reviewing keyword volume, bid strategy, ad quality, geographic targeting and conversion tracking when an account isn't using its available budget.

Yes, for applicable accounts.

Google requires accurate conversion tracking and at least one conversion per month for applicable Ad Grants accounts. Meaningful conversions can include donations, volunteer sign-ups, membership registrations, ticket sales, enquiries and other valuable actions.

Google currently requires applicable Ad Grants accounts to maintain a 5% monthly CTR.

An account that falls below the requirement for two consecutive months can be temporarily deactivated.

Generally, no.

Google's Ad Grants mission-based keyword policy restricts single-word keywords, with specific exceptions.

The old blanket description of a "$2 maximum bid" is incomplete.

Google's current guidance allows eligible conversion-based Smart Bidding strategies to bid above the program-level $2 amount when the account meets the relevant requirements.

Yes.

We can audit the account, identify the relevant issues, recommend corrective actions and support the reinstatement process once the account has been brought back into compliance.

Yes.

Google specifically positions Ad Grants as a way for nonprofits to reach potential donors, and donation activity can be configured as a meaningful conversion goal.

Yes.

Recruiting volunteers is one of the intended use cases of Google Ad Grants, and volunteer registrations can be tracked as meaningful conversions.

Yes.

We can review whether your landing pages align with the searches you're targeting, communicate the right information and make the intended next action clear.

Google also requires a high-quality, functional website that provides value to visitors and accurately reflects the nonprofit's mission.

Yes.

Search terms, keyword performance and audience behavior can reveal opportunities for organic content, new landing pages and broader nonprofit search strategy.

No.

We can work within your existing Google Ads setup and structure access around the management model that makes sense for your organization.

Pricing depends on factors including the current condition of your account, campaign complexity, management requirements, reporting needs and whether you need additional support such as SEO, landing-page optimization or conversion tracking. The first step is understanding the account.
