How it works

Google offers a grant of $10,000 USD per month in Google Ads credits to charitable and non-profit organisations.

This is effectively free money for charities and non-profits which allows organisations who meet the criteria to compete on valuable keyword bids. It levels you up against well-funded competitors and helps your message reach the people who really need you.

It looks and works just like your normal Google Ads account, but with some important extra differences and things to think about.

Ten thousand dollars is a lot of money. But because the rules around spending on your targeted keywords are very complicated, it’s difficult to spend the full amount every month and make the most of your grant.

That’s where AdMonitor comes in.

If you are a registered charity or non-profit organisation there’s a good chance you will qualify for the $10,000 USD monthly grant.
You will also probably qualify if you are the philanthropic wing of a larger for-profit organisation.

You have to register and be approved for membership of the program. One of the most important criteria is that you have a reliable, high-quality website that you can point your free Google Ads towards.

Once registered and accepted, there are certain standards you must meet every month to stay qualified.

If you don’t keep a close eye on your account, it’s easy to drift off course and lose approval.

Regular Google Ads are paid-for advertisements which appear next to the search results when someone Googles a keyword or phrase that is relevant to your area. It’s probably the most powerful and effective way of being found by people browsing online for information – if you know how to do it right.

There are some minor differences with Google Ad Grants that you need to know about. All Google Ad Grant advertisements are text only: no visuals or video. This means they need to be carefully written and tailored for the people you want to see them.

They always appear just below the Google Ads of regular paying advertisers who aren’t using the Google Ad Grant, and they need to be keyword- targeted.

AdMonitor does not need access to your regular paid Google Ads account to help you.

But to maximise usage and return from your Google Ad Grant account, it is best practice to align it with your regular paid Google Ads account to make key bids on certain terms and keywords at the optimum moment.

For the highest levels of AdMonitor service we would in most cases recommend sharing access to both accounts, but that will vary according to your circumstances and ambitions.

AdMonitor has a range of available service plans, flexibly priced to suit your unique account requirements. You can get started today for a small monthly subscription.

Google Ad Grants are worth up to $10,000 USD in credits per month. It’s a serious amount that can make an enormous difference to charity and non-profit organisations. But it’s hard to pick your keyword targets, keep them-up-to date and bid smart to make the most of the full amount.

Average Google Ad Grant accounts currently use around $4,000 of the grant per month. That missing 60% means most charities and non-profits are missing out on tens of thousands of dollars in free funding every year.

AdMonitor does the hard work automatically so you are always spending as much of your remaining $6,000 as possible.
