What Are Google Grants?
Google created the Google Ad Grant to help nonprofits reach people at the exact moment they are searching for help, support, or ways to give back.
The program provides eligible nonprofits with up to $10,000 per month in free Google advertising — up to $120,000 per year — to promote their mission, programs, and resources.
What could your nonprofit do with $10,000 of in-kind advertising every month from Google Ads, an online advertising solution from Google? You could recruit more volunteers, attract more donations and share your story with audiences all over the globe. It’s all possible with Google Ads.
Search ads
that appear when people actively look for relevant topics
Image ads
that visually communicate your mission
Video ads
including YouTube, that help tell your story
