Google began helping nonprofits through the use of Google Ad Grants in 2003. These grants allow your charity to reach a wider audience, advertise events or encourage donations through search advertising. The Google ads grant gives your charity $10,000 in Google ad spend per month. This grant needs to be applied for and once received, you must adhere to Google rules to keep your ad grant. We have compiled a list of what you need to know to set up and manage your Google ad grant for your charity or nonprofit in Northern Ireland.

What is the Google Ad Grant?

The Google ad grant is simple. It gives your charity $10,000 per month to spend on Google ad grants. This is a lot and more than you will probably need to run your ads, especially if you are a smaller charity.

Where do these ads appear?

When you use Google, you search for something and you received a index list of pages back for your query. You may have noticed that the first few results are usually ads. These are Google search ads and this is where you can place ads for your charity to drive engagement.
