Unlocking Google Ad Grants: A Guide for Charities and Non-Profits

by Natalie Temple

Apr 2, 2025

Imagine having up to $10,000 of free advertising every single month to shout about your cause. 

Google Ad Grants make this dream a reality for non-profits – but many charities either don’t know it exists or aren’t sure how to make proper use of their grant.

In this guide, we’ll break down what Google Ad Grants are, why they’re a game-changer for charities, and how you can use them to raise awareness, drive donations, and recruit volunteers.

 

What Is the Google Ad Grant?

The Google Ad Grant is Google’s way of giving back. It offers eligible charities and non-profits up to $10,000 per month in free ad spend on Google Search. That means when someone searches for causes like yours, your charity can appear at the top of search results – all without spending a penny.

 

Whats the impact of Google Ads for Non-Profits?

There are a few key impacts that make the Google Ads grant an essential part of your marketing strategy:

 

More visibility in Google’s SERPs

Be seen by thousands of potential donors, volunteers, and supporters.

 

Increased donations

Drive more traffic to your website and turn this interest into valuable funding.

 

Make a bigger impact

Spread your mission further than ever before with Google’s reach. Get your charity to the top of Google’s SERPs and be seen by searchers, without having to incur advertising spend.

 

Who Can Apply for Google Ads Grants?

If you’re a registered non-profit, have a functioning website, and meet Google’s eligibility criteria, you could be eligible. (Or, ff you’re not sure, Peaky Digital can help you check with a free eligibility assessment!).
