Google Ad Grants – Get $10,000 of free advertising on Google to promote your charity!You’ve probably heard of Google AdWords pay-per-click advertising campaigns, but have you ever heard of Google Ad Grants?
Google Ad Grants is a version of AdWords (that is, Google’s online advertising tool) especially for non-profit organizations. With a grant equivalent to $10,000 per month of AdWords advertising, Google allows non-profits to promote their missions and initiatives free on Google search result pages.
In this way, the Google Ad Grants program provides a real opportunity for you to benefit from maximum visibility on Google and to get the word out about your organization without having to spend a part of your marketing budget.
Google Ad Grants is open to all charities and non-profits. However, to qualify, an organization must meet certain requirements, such as having current and valid charity status in Canada and a functioning website with substantial content. For more information on the eligibility of non-profit organizations, Google has provided a complete guide on the subject. If you’d rather know right away if your organization is eligible for Google Ad Grants, contact us.
