Provides up to $10,000 monthly in Google Search advertising, not spendable grant cash.

Requires a Google for Nonprofits account; US legal-status rules also apply.

You’ll need

  • In Google for Nonprofits, select Ad Grants, supply the website, complete the welcome video and submit activation. Do not create a separate Google Ads account during activation.
  • The benefit is free advertising; additional paid Google Ads belong in a separate account.

Watch for

  • Automatic church tax exemption alone does not meet Google’s recognition requirement.
  • The advertised website must use HTTPS and meet Google’s website standards.
  • Our note: Review ongoing Ad Grants compliance separately; initial activation does not guarantee continued participation.
  • US fiscally sponsored organizations without their own 501(c)(3) status are currently ineligible. Fiscal sponsorship is not the same as qualifying documented affiliation under a group exemption.
  • Not confirmed: your website remediation or campaign-management costs; these are not established as mandatory program fees.
