We have worked with various types of goals and campaigns for Non-Profit organizations. The goals included:

Results came through extensive experimentations. Any Google Ads campaign requires a lot of testing, however due to the limiting nature of Google Grant, a lot more testing was required to achieve growth. Testing included A/B tests on different variables, localization of in-app content and on-site content. Localization of ads to identify which countries are most likely to respond when communicating in their own language.  Testing of hundreds of landing pages to identify which ones convert the best.

We know that lot of companies that are eligible for the Google Ads Grant Program do not know about this opportunity. So we decided to come up with a full description to help companies understand whether Google Grant can be beneficial for their business development.

What is the Program About?

Google Ad Grant is a grant that is part of the Google Non-Profit program that serves Non-Profit Organizations around the world. It provides $10 000 to use on Google Ads, a form of advertising also known as pay-per-click (PPC). The grant program is available to non-profits only and you must be enrolled in the Google Grants program to receive it. At the same time, you can apply for two other options, YouTube for Nonprofits and Workspace for Non-Profits that provide you with extra features and tools which are only available in the paid versions for commercial businesses.

Who is it for?

The Grant Programs are only available to Nonprofits, however, not only charities are eligible for this program. Any organization from any industry can be eligible. The main idea of this grant is to reflect the mission of your non-profit correctly and identify how it will bring impact to users by increasing awareness about the Non-Profit.

Charity Donations is useful for a non-profit organization that is looking to attract donations. The budget will let you create the proper campaign to warm up the audience and build trust in your organization. People rarely donate within the first interaction unless you're a world-known organization and clearly highlighted problem solving.

The Potential Challenges
