Google Ad Grants Setup & Management for Nonprofits

What Ad Grants can do for your nonprofit

Drive high-intent traffic from people actively searching for your mission.

Raise awareness

Show up on Google Search when people look for causes like yours.

Increase donations

Send searchers to focused donation and campaign pages built to convert.

Recruit volunteers

Promote volunteer opportunities and capture sign-ups with tracking.

Important: Ad Grants is Search-only. If you want YouTube/Display, that’s a separate paid ads plan.
Why management matters: Many nonprofits don’t fully use the grant because campaigns aren’t structured, tracked, or optimized consistently.

We improve CTR and conversions with search term cleanup, negatives, and ad testing.
