Non-profit Google Ads
We help nonprofits maximize their Google Ad Grants ($10K/month in free ads) and run donation campaigns that stretch every dollar further.
Common non-profit advertising challenges.
Google Ad Grant going unused or suspended
Google offers non-profits $10,000 per month in free search ads, but most organizations either never set it up, fail to maintain compliance, or use only a fraction of the available budget.
Low donation conversion rates from ad traffic
Driving clicks is easy. Getting those visitors to actually complete a donation requires optimized landing pages, clear calls to action, and a frictionless giving experience.
Balancing awareness campaigns with fundraising goals
Non-profits need both visibility for their mission and direct fundraising results, but most campaigns focus on one at the expense of the other.
Compliance requirements that change frequently
Google Ad Grants have strict policies around keyword quality, click-through rates, and account structure. Falling out of compliance means losing your grant with little warning.
How we help non-profit businesses grow.
Full Google Ad Grant utilization
We set up and manage your Google Ad Grant to use as much of the $10,000 monthly budget as possible, with campaigns structured to meet all compliance requirements and drive real results.
Donation funnel optimization
We build landing pages and conversion paths designed to turn ad visitors into donors, with tested messaging, streamlined forms, and suggested giving amounts that increase average donation size.
Awareness campaigns that also drive action
We structure awareness campaigns with clear secondary goals like email signups, volunteer registrations, or event attendance, so every impression contributes to your mission.
Ongoing compliance monitoring
We monitor your Ad Grant account daily against Google's compliance checklist, proactively fixing issues before they trigger suspension and keeping your grant active year round.
How we build your non-profit ad campaigns.
Grant eligibility review and application
We verify your non-profit status, check eligibility requirements, and handle the Google Ad Grant application process. If you already have a grant, we audit your current setup for compliance issues and unused potential.
Account setup and compliance structuring
We build your Ad Grant account from scratch with a campaign structure that meets all of Google's compliance requirements while maximizing the budget available for your most important programs and initiatives.
Campaign launch and donation funnel build
Campaigns go live targeting your core mission keywords. Simultaneously, we optimize your donation pages, email capture forms, and volunteer signup flows to convert ad traffic into meaningful actions.
Optimize for donations and engagement
We continuously test ad copy, landing pages, and giving amounts to increase conversion rates. We also expand keyword coverage to capture more of your $10,000 monthly grant budget.
Impact reporting and campaign expansion
You receive monthly reports showing donations generated, new supporters acquired, and grant budget utilized. We recommend when it makes sense to add paid campaigns to complement your grant for maximum impact.

Non-profit niches we specialize in.
Common questions about non-profit Google Ads.
The Google Ad Grant provides eligible non-profit organizations with up to $10,000 per month in free Google Search advertising. Most 501(c)(3) organizations qualify, excluding hospitals, schools, and government entities. We handle the entire application and setup process for you.
Most non-profits use less than 30% of their available grant budget. With proper keyword research, campaign structure, and bid management, we typically get organizations to 70% to 90% utilization, which translates to thousands of dollars in additional free traffic each month.
Yes. Many non-profits benefit from running a paid Google Ads account alongside their Ad Grant. The paid account allows you to bid on competitive keywords, run Shopping or Display ads, and use features that the grant restricts. We manage both accounts as a coordinated strategy.
If your grant is suspended for compliance issues, we submit a reinstatement request and fix the underlying problems. Our proactive monitoring is designed to prevent suspensions before they happen, and we have a 100% reinstatement success rate for clients who come to us after a suspension.
We track donations, volunteer signups, email list growth, event registrations, and awareness metrics like brand search volume. We work with you to define the KPIs that matter most for your specific mission and report on them monthly.
