Every week when I review my client’s stats I wonder why so many non-profits leave a staggering $10,000 worth of completely free advertising dollars every single month on the most important digital platform that ever exisited untouched on the table – In particular smaller non-profits that don’t have a significant marketing budget yet a cause that needs to get in front of many. It’s really like getting a forgiven PPP loan every month on autopilot.
Unlike most grant programs, you don’t actually have to compete to get into the Google Ad Grants program.
Google Ads grants are not like other grants. For most grants, there’s a limited amount of funds that nonprofits must compete for. Google Ad grants differ. If you meet the eligibility criteria, you’ll have no problem getting approved.
What are Google Ads?
With a Google Ads grant you create ads to show on Google Search. Your organization’s ads will appear either independently or in positions below paid ads. These text-based ads are displayed on Google.com search results pages. I’m sure you have seen them before – they look like this and are at the top of the search page and other places on the web.
The Power of $10,000 in Free Monthly Advertising
At its core, Google Ad Grants offers eligible nonprofits a $10,000 in monthly advertising credits. It’s like being handed a megaphone in the bustling digital marketplace, allowing your voice to rise above the noise.
But what does $10,000 a month in advertising really mean for your organization? Let’s paint a picture:
- A local food bank could reach thousands of potential donors during the critical holiday season, potentially doubling their annual donations.
- An international human rights organization could educate millions about ongoing crises, mobilizing support and driving policy change.
- A community arts program could fill every seat in their youth workshops, nurturing the next generation of artists.
The possibilities are as vast as your imagination and as impactful as your mission.
The Double-Edged Sword: Simple to Get, Challenging to Master
Here’s the twist in our tale: While Google Ad Grants is remarkably accessible—free to apply for and use—it’s not a “set it and forget it” solution. The program’s true power lies in its ongoing management and optimization. It’s like being given a high-performance sports car; anyone can turn the key, but it takes skill to navigate it to victory.
Many nonprofits find themselves in a paradox: they have access to this incredible resource but lack the time, expertise, or resources to maximize its potential. That’s where the plot thickens, and where Lead Grow Thrive enters the story as your trusted co-pilot.
Thankfully we have been able to spend up to 98% of the budgets we manage every month and elevate many of our clients to a coveted “Google Authority position using the Google Ads grant spend.

The Measurable Magic of Google Ad Grants
In the world of nonprofit marketing, Google Ad Grants stands out as one of the most measurable and effective solutions available. Unlike traditional marketing methods where impact can be nebulous, Google Ad Grants provides crystal-clear metrics. You’ll see exactly how many people viewed your ads, clicked through to your website, and took action—whether that’s making a donation, signing up to volunteer, or engaging with your content.
This level of measurability isn’t just about numbers; it’s about stories. It’s about tracking the journey of a curious individual who searches for “climate change solutions,” clicks on your ad, reads your blog post, signs up for your newsletter, and eventually becomes a monthly donor and active volunteer. Google Ad Grants, when managed effectively, doesn’t just drive traffic—it builds a community of engaged supporters.

We help you integrate your Ad Grants strategy with robust SEO practices, ensuring that your organic search presence complements your paid efforts. This holistic approach means that even as you leverage the immediate visibility of ads, you’re also building a sustainable, long-term digital presence that continues to grow and thrive.

Where your message reaches not just hundreds, but millions. Where your impact grows exponentially, limited only by the scope of your vision.
