Google Grants and You

Imagine if your non-profit organization could suddenly get US$10,000 of in-kind advertising every month from Google. What would you do with this sudden boon? How would you even start to get this windfall in the first place? The answer lies in Google Grants, a program Google offers to help non-profit organizations build recruitment, spread your message, and help your organization generate more donations.

  • $10,000 of in-kind advertising every month
  • Special ad placement in search results pages
  • An AdWords account that can be set up to run automatically based on a few inputs, or highly customized under personal management
