A strategic guide for non-profits on transforming the $10,000/month Google Ad Grant into a powerful engine for growth.
Read MoreWe help non-profits amplify their mission with our specialized digital services, focusing on expert Google Ad Grant management to drive meaningful impact.
The Google Ad Grant is a philanthropic program providing eligible non-profits with up to $10,000 USD per month in in-kind advertising credits for Google Search. Since its inception, Google has provided billions of dollars in free advertising to help organizations amplify their message.
This resource allows a non-profit to display ads on Google search results pages, connecting them with people actively searching for relevant causes, information, and opportunities to help.
A well-managed Ad Grant account translates a monthly ad budget into tangible outcomes that support your organization's goals.
Run targeted campaigns to reach individuals searching for opportunities to donate, increasing your funding and supporter base.
Promote volunteer opportunities to a local or global audience, connecting with people who have the skills and passion to help.
Raise awareness for your cause, educate the public, and drive traffic to important content, petitions, and event registrations.
Industry data shows a majority of Ad Grant accounts spend less than 10% of their available budget. This is often due to the complexity of the platform and its strict compliance policies.
A high-quality, functional website is a prerequisite for the Ad Grant program. If your current site does not meet Google's standards, we can help.
We build modern, multi-page websites for non-profits that are designed to perform at an enterprise level. Our service includes excellent Core Web Vitals, comprehensive schema markup, and optional ongoing SEO management.

We offer Ad Grant management at a flat monthly rate to cover the work required to manage the advertising credit effectively while maintaining compliance. We do not turn away genuine non-profits due to budget limitations.
Discuss Your SituationThe Google Ad Grant provides eligible non-profits with $10,000 USD of in-kind advertising credits per month. To be eligible, your organization must be a registered non-profit, validated by a local TechSoup partner (like NASSCOM Foundation in India), and cannot be a hospital, school, or government entity.
The process starts with getting validated by the NASSCOM Foundation. Once you receive a validation token, you apply for a Google for Nonprofits account. After approval, you can activate the Ad Grants product. We can guide you through this entire application process free of charge.
While the ad spend is free, maximizing its impact and staying compliant with Google's strict rules (like maintaining a 5% click-through rate) requires expertise. Professional management ensures your account remains active and that the full $10,000/month is used effectively to drive your mission-critical goals, such as donations and volunteer sign-ups.
