Google Ad Grants for Nonprofits

Google Partner

Is your nonprofit taking advantage of the free ad spending available from Google? Google Ad Grants allow nonprofits to receive a monthly stipend of up to $10,000 to use on ad campaigns. When set up properly, this translates to thousands of new visitors every month.

Through keyword research and targeted campaigns, your nonprofit can utilize Google Ad Grants to expand your reach and hit the right audience—those who want to help your mission.

Our Approach to Google Ad Grants

Our company was built on the foundation of Google Ad Grants—we’ve been using Google Ad Grants for almost a decade, since their inception in 2003.

Media Cause clients see an average of 5,000 website visitors and 175 email sign ups from their Ad Grant. That’s 3x the return on investment compared to other marketing agencies—giving you a significant edge and helping to build your future donor base.

As one of the few certified Google Ad Grants partner agencies, we work directly with Google to give feedback and recommendations. We’re among the first to know updates and news around Google for Nonprofit products, providing us with the inside track on how to maximize your spend for the most significant reach, efficiency, and impact.

All of our Strategists are Google Ads certified. We’re focused on hitting the right audience and getting them to take the actions you want, rather than just clicks and traffic for number’s sake.
